Then the registrations for the authentic Athens Marathon open 2025

Further upgrading of the Marathon Expo enables interested parties to find immediately and easily what they will need during the race, necessary information, offers and thousands of products on the road movement.

Special isothermal Poncho will be granted by 2025, much higher quality compared to previous years, which will be acquired by runners along with the Bib Number at Marathon Expo. The “isothermal blanket” remains as a supply to the termination.

The above change comes in conjunction with the transfer – from the Marathon to the Zappeion area – of the clothing service of the marathon runners. Now, the delivery of clothes will not take place at the starting point, but the day before or even days earlier, to the standards of the vast majority of the leading international point-to-point Marathon, such as Boston and Sydney, leaving a strong ecological footprint and enhancing the level of security. As is the case with major international struggles on a public road, the starting point will be an organized clothing collection system, which will then be available in vulnerable groups, thus enhancing the social profile and charity of AMA.

We briefly recall a number of changes, innovations and facilities that have been applied after 2022 following relevant suggestions by the Organizing Committee of the Authentic Marathon and decisions of the SEGAS Board of Directors:

Printing Bib Numbers with a Live Printing system, thus saving more than two tonnes of paper and enabling runners to receive their number immediately and printed.

Cooperation with STASY and Metro for the start of the routes earlier on the race day and with a higher frequency.

Additional benefits to marathon roads, such as: recyclable bags, high quality backpack, new application, refueling stations per 2.5 kilometers with more and high quality food products, upgrading of medical services with huge support from EKAB and duplication of rescue teams.

Creation of the first modern Marathon Business Center in GAD.

The last two innovations of SEGAS, in cooperation with the Greek Police and the Attica Region, have increased the security of the race at a very high level.

Characteristically we mentioned that the intervention time and emergency intervention were dramatically reduced.

It is understood, the SEGAS administration is making great efforts to give a modern pulse to the Athens Marathon and to serve more and more runners to the starting point.

In 2024, the available positions increased by 1,000 and for 2025 it is planned to participate in additional 2,000 runners, numbers that further raise the difficulty of the organization, the provision of quality services and the maintenance of strict security protocols.

Do not forget that AMA is a point-to-point race, and not circular, with the historical starting point positioned in an area not supported by metro or other parallel highways. The only passage has been used over the years both for the movement of their runners and their clothing and of course the race is the journey of the race.

The transportation and concentration of more than 22,000 runners to the Marathon with more than 450 coaches creates congestion conditions and is a great test for the mechanisms that ensure the security of the race. Under this treaty, the Organizing Committee made the above changes.

In order to be able to boast of the authentic Athens Marathon in the coming years at the levels of the Great Marathon, to give more and higher athletes the opportunity to participate and harmonize with international security standards, the SEGAS administration is committed to continuing to innovate and innovate. The goal is the top! ”
