The Hellenic Athletics Federation is marching into a new era, presenting the new phase of the Authentic Marathon and its effort for world acknowledgment through the evolution and improvement of its visual identity.
At the presence of the Greek Minister of Tourism, Ms Olga Kefalogianni, the Head of Attica Region, Mr Yiannis Sgouros, representatives of all political parties in Greece, other state and business authorities and running clubs, SEGAS presented the new name of the event.
«ATHENS MARATHON. THE AUTHENTIC».
This is the new name of our Marathon. Based on thorough studies and analysis, this name highlights in the most accurate and precise way the “unique” world “position” of our national heritage, of the Authentic Marathon; a marathon that is not only a “classic” but the only one on the planet that starts from Marathonas and finishes in Athens.
This Marathon race, in which SEGAS invites every runner around the world to participate at least once in their lifetime, is entering a new phase, aiming at the top among all major sport and tourist events worldwide.
The new logo of the event was presented, along with audiovisual material and images of new identity. As of today, the official t-shirts of the event are presented to the public and their beauty amazed everyone present.
REGISTRATIONS TO OPEN IN MARCH 2014
Registrations for this year’s event will open in mid March 2014, 8 months before the 32rd Athens Marathon, the Authentic Marathon. A unique event, a unique lifetime experience for all Marathon runners around the world, in Greece, the country of culture and sports. The Athens Marathon just entered a new era of development and creativity and it is now called “Athens Marathon. The Authentic”.
We invite all runners from anywhere in the planet to participate in this historic event and meet the true Authentic.
Every year, more and more people join the Athens Marathon, the Authentic Marathon, and every year the ultimate participation limits are met sooner. This year, the official registration period will open within March and it is anticipated to last only a few months. It should be noted that especially for the 5km & 10km Road Races, it is estimated that registrations will be over before the end of May 2014, while the participation limit of 13,000 runners for the Marathon Race will also be met quite soon.
We urge all those interested in the event to submit their registration in the Athens Marathon – the Authentic Marathon – through our website (www.athensauthenticmarathon.gr) early enough, so that they secure a place at the start line.
