AIMS Patron Message
The Greek National Tourism Organisation (GNTO) fully supports the ‘Athens Marathon. The Authentic’, recognising not only its unique value but all the symbolisms the Marathon encapsulates as well. Thousands of athletes participate in the Authentic Athens Marathon in Greece, a 365-days-per-year destination, and experience the Greek Light, Greek Gastronomy, and Greek Culture. Those participants are the greatest ambassadors and the most loyal friends of Greece.
