Our colleague, Kostas Kavvadas, successfully participated and finished the 10th Anniversary Athanaton Race on October 26-27, 2024. This ultramarathon, spanning 142 km, connects four iconic statues of Greek history: General Theodoros Kolokotronis (Tripoli), King Leonidas (Sparta), Emperor Constantine Palaiologos (Mystras), and the heroes of the Greek Revolution (Kalamata).
The route, which traverses the Taygetus mountain range, is known for its significant challenges and steep elevation changes. It honors the global Greek community and commemorates the historical legacy of our nation’s heroes. Kostas, with his unwavering spirit, managed to complete one of the most demanding ultramarathons, making us all incredibly proud.
