IT’S THE RACE ON EVERY MARATHON RUNNER’S BUCKET LIST – DON’T MISS OUT
The Athens Marathon is a world classic, run largely along the route taken by the Greek soldier Pheippides when racing to announce victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. It’s one of the toughest courses in the world, climbing over 332m (over 1,000 feet). As one of the most spectacular events of its kind in the world it has rightly become a ‘must-do’ challenge for every serious runner. There are also 5km and 10km road races
MAKE THE EARLY RUNNING
he 2023 events were a complete sell out and we fully expect 2024 to be the same. Race registrations open next month in April 2024 but the Athens Marathon Experience can be so much more than just a road-race. we recommend a package of 6 days duration that includes:
A special guided Historic City Discovery Run
A visit to Marathon to see the museum
A guided tour along the race route with an experienced running coach
A ‘day-after’ wind-down cruise to three beautiful local islands
A guided city tour to see the Acropolis and Parthenon
3 star and 4 star accommodation is available, located near the city centre within easy reach of the tavernas and restaurants of the famous Plaka neighbourhood.
MAKE A DATE WITH THE ATHENS MARATHON – SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10th 2024
The 2024 running takes place on November 10th so now is the time to start applying for race places. Mail your client database as you almost certainly have some keen runners on there, and runners always have running buddies.
Group registrations and entries are available for 10 people upward. Why not reach out to your local running clubs and offer to put a package together – it might introduce a whole new range of clients to your business.
