They say that it’s not the destination that matters, but the journey, especially when it has “passenger” loved ones. His goal is to finish with his young daughter and not to win.

Kostas Stamatis, in 2021, ran in the Marathon with his young daughter in the stroller and he will repeat the same this year.

The preparation has started a long time ago and this year the effort will be greater as Kostas is three years older and Varvara 10 kg heavier.

With this move, Kostas Stamatis wants to send the message that we can do everything on our own. He also states that we can set long-term goals and that the parent is not limited by a walk of the child to the playground, an excursion or the screening of a movie.

A few days are left before the 41st Athens Classic Marathon where, in addition to athletes from all over the world, father and daughter will be at the starting line…

The distance to the finish is 42 kilometers, reaching the finish goal a lifelong dream, for life and the father-daughter relationship.
