1st edition of the Penteli Home Race, a sports and music festival where all proceeds go to the Penteli Child Protection Unit (former PIKPA). The idea is to raise awareness about foster care and volunteering, so you run in the forest and help kids at the same time. Not a bad deal. Start and finish in front of the main entrance of the Child Protection Unit, Ippokratous 8, Old Penteli. Mountain running race for runners with trail experience, a proper trail outing on Penteli with about 616m of climbing (yes, it goes up to around 930m). Loop course with mountain views. Age categories: 18-39, 40+. Course time limit 3.5 hours. Includes electronic timing, t-shirt, finisher medal, water and fruit. Register by 05/10 10:00 to get a bib with your name on it.
