U nedjelju 28. svibnja 2023. Europski gospodarski i socijalni odbor (EGSO) pridružio se drugim institucijama EU-a na utrci organiziranoj u dobrovoljne svrhe, koja je održana 43. put i jedno je od najpopularnijih sportskih događanja belgijskog glavnog grada.
Na tom događanju, koje je proslava amaterskog sporta, okupilo se više od 40 000 trkača i šetača iz 89 različitih zemalja.
Tim EU-a prikupljao je sredstva za Amnesty international, organizaciju koja zastupa ljudska prava.
Potpredsjednik EGSO-a za komunikaciju Laurenţiu Plosceanu dao je znak za početak četvrtog dijela utrke, zajedno s predsjednicom Europskog parlamenta Robertom Metsolom i predstavnikom Europske komisije Stefaanom De Rynckom.
Potpredsjednik Plosceanu naglasio je istaknutu prisutnost institucija EU-a na tom događanju posvećenom demokraciji i ljudskim pravima i okupljeno mnoštvo opisao kao „tsunami od 40 000 građana koji trče za mir, demokraciju, ljudska prava i vrijednosti EU-a”.
Na utrci je sudjelovalo 60 članova i članica Udruge stažista EGSO-a kako bi prikupili sredstva za ratne veterane u Ukrajini u suradnji s nevladinom organizacijom „Promote Ukraine” i Nacionalnim vijećem za sportsku rehabilitaciju. Tim će se sredstvima financirati programi rehabilitacije.
Događanje je organizirao „Syndicat d'Initiative - Bruxelles Promotion 1886”, a na njemu je sudjelovao i belgijski premijer Alexander De Croo, koji je trčao za belgijski Crveni križ.
