Central Athens Closed to Traffic on Sunday for '8th Greece Race for the Cure'

8th-greece-race-for-the-cureTraffic police on Thursday announced that a series of roads in central Athens will be closed to traffic this Sunday, for the 8th Greece Race for the Cure Against Breast Cancer.
The race begins at 11:30 on Sunday morning outside the Zappion building and runs a five-kilometre course through the city centre up to Mavilis Square on Vassilisis Sofias Avenue, then back to Zappion.
There will also be a two-kilometre walk starting on the Vassilisis Olga Avenue exit from Zappion, which skirts the park and archaeological site housing the Arch of Hadrian and the Temple of Olympian Zeus and returns to the starting point.
Registration and associated events for the race will begin at Zappion at about 8:00, while police will successively close roads around the centre between 9:30 and 14:00. Vehicles will also be forbidden to stop or park on Vassilisis Olga Avenue from 22:00 on Saturday night until 14:00 on Sunday.
Organisers will also be in Zappion on Saturday to register participants in the race and walk, from noon until 18:00, while women lacking health insurance will be offered free mammograms, by appointment, from 9:00-17:00. Meanwhile, on both Saturday and Sunday, organisers will set aside a special area where volunteers can cut their hair and donate it for making wigs.
