In Athens, the 18th ‘Greece Race for the Cure’—a 5-kilometer run and 2-kilometer walk organized by the ~~Alma Zoi association~~ Panhellenic Association of Women with Breast Cancer ‘Alma Zoes’ to support breast cancer prevention and awareness—drew over 58,000 participants. This event impacted major arteries including Alexandras Avenue, Patission, Akadimia, Amerikis, Mavromataia, 3rd of September, Marni, and Panepistimio streets from the early morning until approximately 13:00.
