Event calls on public to #RunwithUs

On your marks, get set, go! Bank of Cyprus is sponsoring the 12th annual race organised by the Drο.Me.A Racing Club, on Sunday December 1 at the Athalassa National Forest Park.

Starting at 10am, the event features 5km and 10km road races, an 800m kids’ race as well as a 5km corporate race for charity, with all proceeds from that last-named race being donated to support the work of the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Center – specifically to purchase tablets for patients of the daycare unit, which administers around 80 chemotherapy sessions daily. In this way, patients will have something to do while waiting, watching their favourite movies and TV series.

Bank of Cyprus staff will be actively engaged at #RunWithUs, either as runners or volunteers, in the framework of the Bank’s corporate social responsibility and the ‘Well at Work’ programme.

Both the Bank of Cyprus and the Drο.Me.A Racing Club aspire to promote sports, boost sports culture and pave the way towards a more active lifestyle, in an effort to prevent serious diseases such as cancer.

“So put on your sports outfit, wear your smile, bring your friends and family,” say the organisers “and come join us in running – or walking – to help those in need.” For more information, please visit www.dromearacing.com

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
