A record number of 50,000 people participated in this year’s Athens Authentic Marathon which was held this past Sunday November 13. Runners followed the 42 km route from the town of Marathon, in northeast Attica, to the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. The route tracks the original journey that runner Pheidippides took in 490 b.c., bringing his heroic message of the Athenian victory over the Persians in the Battle of Marathon before his tragic death.

Congratulations to all our CYA and CSB/SJU students who participated in record numbers this year, including the numerous volunteers, what a great achievement!
