Now for the second year, SNFCC premises are hosting Penny Marathon’s last 10k, in which participants can run or cycle. You can bring your dog, too, for the last 2k!

Penny Marathon began in 2012 in Athens as an initiative by two Greek-Australians. Although not runners themselves, they decided to start a project to raise awareness of stray animals, whose number exceeds 600 million worldwide. The marathon was named after Penny, a stray dog that, like thousands of others, could not survive on the street in Athens. In support of stray animals in Greece and volunteers who give of their best for them, Marathon participants run, swim, cycle and paddle for a total of 42km.
