Traffic restrictions were implemented in downtown Athens on Sunday morning for the Run, Bike, Care event, which includes a 10k and a 5k circuit. The measures will remain in effect from 8 a.m. to noon.
Marking World Cancer Survivors Day, the event has drawn thousands of cyclists, runners and walkers for a recreational outing through central Athens and other cities across Greece. Organizers say the event aims to raise awareness and promote public engagement, bringing together people in a collective show of support.
The temporary traffic restrictions, applied on a gradual basis, concern key roads on and around the race route, including Syntagma Square, Filellinon Street, Vassilissis Amalias, Vassilissis Olgas, Vassilissis Sofias, Vassileos Konstantinou, Panepistimiou, Akadimias, Stadiou and part of Syngrou Avenue.
Additional restrictions will apply on Irodotou Attikou Street and several connecting roads in the area.
