"Svetulki RUN" is organized by the Sofia Mountaineering Club in support of people with mobility or visual impairments. It is held in the dark and participants use headlamps and flashlights. All funds raised from the run are donated to non-profit organizations. 

This year's event will support the Eyes on Four Paws Foundation and its mission to train guide dogs for people with disabilities.
