Danaos participates in the 33rd ORIGINAL ATHENS MARATHON.
The “Athens Marathon The Authentic” asserted its status as a unique race despite the problems of the financial crisis in Greece. A record number of 16,000 runners went to the start line of this classic race at the very source of the event’s inspiration, the coastal town of Marathon from where the marathon was launched in the inaugural Olympic Games of the modern era in 1896. That marked a rise of almost 25% from a year ago, while SEGAS, the Greek Athletics Federation, recorded a total of 43,000 entries for this and the shorter distance events, held the same day.

Runners of the Danaos team ran either the 5km or 10km races, in support of the children of the ELEPAP organization. It was an amazing sunny day, we enjoyed every minute of it and we are so proud to be part of this unique experience!
