The main purpose of the event is to support the “Eleni Gyra” Autism Shelter – a Non-Profit Foundation – Adult Residence and Education Center in Zitsa, Ioannina.
The center was established by the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Autistic Persons (H.S.P.A.P.) through donations from Georgios Gyras in memory of his wife Eleni Gyra, the “Mother of Pogoni” Christian Brotherhood, and the French Philanthropic Organization “Order of Malta Knights.”

Participation in the race is FREE.
Running brings us closer, unites us, and makes us stronger together. There’s no room for discrimination; we are all equal, and we can all participate and experience the magic of running races. Everyone’s contribution is valuable, and for this reason, there will be a donation option, where everyone can contribute financially as they wish.
