Einladung zum AIMS Symposium am 11. November 2017, zur AIMS-Gala und zu allen Veranstaltungen vom 10. bis 12. November 2017 in Athen und Marathon

Wie Sie bereits wissen, hat AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distances Races) in Zusammenarbeit mit der IAAF, der Stadt Marathon und SEGAS (dem griechischen Leichtathletik-Verband) das jährliche internationale "AIMS Marathon Symposium" ins Leben gerufen, das jedes Jahr in Athen stattfindet.

Das Symposium  findet einen Tag vor dem jährlichen Marathon statt, der auf der Ursprungsstrecke von Marathon nach Athen, der jetzt "Athens Marathon. The Authentic" (früher Athens Classic Marathon) genannt wird, verläuft

Ziel dieses jährlich stattfindenden internationalen AIMS Marathon Symposiums ist es, eine enge Zusammenarbeit und einen Meinungsaustausch zu Themen von beiderseitigem Interesse zu fördern, die den Organisatoren helfen soll ihre Rennen ständig zu verbessern. 

Die Organisation eines jährlichen Symposiums am Geburtsort des Marathons hat neben der Diskussion aktueller Fragen bezüglich der Organisation eines erfolgreichen Marathon-Events auch eine bedeutende Symbolik in Bezug auf Weltfrieden, die olympischen Ideale und Fair Play.

Am 11. November 2017 findet das "11. AIMS Marathon Symposium" statt unter dem Titel "Entwicklung Ihres Rennens durch die Entwicklung des Laufangebotes in Ihrer Region". 

Zusätzlich zu den Symposium Sitzungen sind alle Teilnehmer des Symposiums zu allen Veranstaltungen vom 10. bis 12. November 2017 eingeladen:

Die AIMS Best Marathon Runner Gala (am Freitagabend, 10. November, bitte hier klicken here), die ERGO Marathon EXPO, der Athener Marathon Eröffnungszeremonien & Entzünden der Marathonflamme an der historischen Stätte des Grabes von Marathon, sowie Start und Ziel des authentischen Marathonlaufs, der am Sonntagmorgen, dem 12. November 2017 stattfindet.

Zu Ihrer Information finden Sie here den ersten Entwurf des "2017 AIMS & AMA 5-Tages-Zeitplans".

Das AIMS Marathon Symposium Organisationskomitee bietet B & B-Unterkunft für 3 Nächte kostenlos an einen Teilnehmer pro Rennen (unabhängig davon, ob sie Mitglieder von AIMS sind oder nicht).

Dear Friends,

As you are already aware, since 2007, AIMS – in collaboration with IAAF, the City of Marathon and SEGAS (the Hellenic Athletics Federation) – has established the annual international "AIMS Marathon Symposium" which is held every year in Athens-Greece, the day before the annual Marathon race held on the original Marathon course, called since this year "Athens Marathon. The Authentic" (previously Athens Classic Marathon).

The aim of this annual international event, the AIMS Marathon Symposium, is to encourage close co-operation and exchange of views on issues of mutual interest which will assist organisers in their constant efforts to improve their races.

The organization of an annual Symposium at the birthplace of the Marathon, besides discussing current issues regarding the organisation of a successful Marathon event, also raises significant symbolism related to World Peace, Olympic Ideals and Fair Play.

The "11^thAIMS Marathon Symposium" will be held on 11 November 2017, under the title: "Developing your race through the development of the running market in your region".

During the Symposium, 4 major speakers and other round table participants will present to and discuss with the audience various themes related to the main topic, aiming to offer useful ideas, solutions and practises to race organisers and city or sport authorities involved.

For your information, the first draft of the "AIMS Symposium 2017 – Detailed Sessions Program V1" can be found here, while the full list of the speakers' names will be completed and announced within the next few weeks.
