Registration for the event, commencing on April 15 and continuing until September 27, offers participants an opportunity to contribute to these noble causes through the official website Perroton.org.
The grand unveiling of the 2024 edition took place on Tuesday, April 9, at the Special Canine Guide Unit in Madrid’s Casa de Campo, jointly presented by the National Police and Perroton España. The occasion was graced by notable Spanish figures, including actor and presenter Carlos Sobera and actress-singer Alejandra Botto, both assuming ambassadorial roles for Perroton Spain.
