On May 14th 2023, the HappyMums Consortium decided to celebrate mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well as their positive contributions to their families and society. Indeed the second Sunday in May is considered Mother's Day, in many countries in the world.

So, during the third edition of the DKRACE, a running event for professional and amateur runners, HappyMums organised the HappyMums HappyRun where everybody could join to run 5ks or 10ks at their own pace. 

The goal was  to promote the HappyMums project and raise awareness on the importance of perinatal mental health.

The event was held in the heart of the Park of Monza (Italy), one of the biggest parks in Europe.

Ad hoc t-shirts with the HappyMums logo, gadgets and informative materials was distributed to all participants and a HappyMums stand was set where people could ask for information and talk to researchers explaining the importance of perinatal mental health and progress of science in the field.
