AEGEAN Airlines proudly supports Athens as a global hub for sports, tourism, and culture. This year, the airline enhanced the Athens Authentic Marathon, bringing 73,000 runners together. By sponsoring the event, AEGEAN strengthened Athens’ reputation as a top destination for international events.
The marathon, held on November 9 and 10, attracted runners from all over the world. AEGEAN sponsored the Authentic Athens Marathon and Half Marathon as the “Grand Sponsor of SEGAS.” Since 2015, AEGEAN has played a crucial role in connecting sports with Greece’s cultural heritage.
To engage participants, AEGEAN launched a unique activation at the “Sponsors’ Village.” People joined the “collective marathon race,” completing the marathon distance on treadmills. The challenge represented teamwork, like 180 passengers on an AEGEAN flight. AEGEAN rewarded participants with free flight tickets and travel discounts, blending athleticism with the excitement of travel.
AEGEAN’s team of 800 employees, friends, and family participated in various race categories. From the 5 km race to the full 42 km marathon, this group showed AEGEAN’s values of determination and achievement. Their participation reflected AEGEAN’s dedication to promoting Greece’s sports, tourism, and cultural spirit globally.
For 25 years, AEGEAN has supported events that highlight Greece’s dynamic role in sports and tourism. The airline continues to build global connections through these cultural initiatives.
