The organizers of the event aim at establishing the Athens Run 2012, as one of the most important sports institutions in Greece with wide popular participation, as well as to promote the city of Athens abroad through the motto Take a breath and join us in running the history of our city.
The Run will include the Acropolis Half Marathon and parallel races of 8 and 3 kms for both men and women, as well as 700-metre races for people with special needs. All races will start from the gates of the Panathenaic Stadium and finish at the historic building of Zappeion Hall.
