The brand H&M Move selected Barcelona for the global launch of its latest running collection, featuring designer Pepa Salazar during an event held on March 19.

The event, titled H&M Moves Barcelona, took place at Los Tinglados de la Barceloneta. It featured a 5K run with local clubs and a panel discussion on running as a cultural phenomenon. Key participants included DJ Martha Pazienti and digital creator Alex Boisset.

"In the end, sport is an escape valve, an almost meditative hour for yourself. And you exercise discipline a lot."
