The 3K Gran Canaria Accessible is immersed in the program of the Maspalomas Marathon event. “When we were asked to participate in this race, we said yes, the only question was how,” Savané explained. «The presence of the Suma Project is perfect, because this project, which is already a section of the club, brings inclusion to the DNA of the Gran Canaria Basketball Club» he commented. The ‘Granca’ encourages people to participate with 125 double tickets that will be distributed to the first participants of the race who wish to attend the clash against BAXI Manresa, the day on which two signed balls will also be delivered, as well as a shirt, raffled previously among those participants of the race who attend the game.
