CHARITY WALK & RUN

The greatest charity initiative of the year, an event dedicated to the children and addressed to the whole world, the unique global sports event with a social dimension. This is the “NO FINISH LINE”, which in 2020 returns to Athens for the 4th consecutive year and awaits both young and old, between 6 and 10 May at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, in order to run, walk and support the Association “Together for Children”.

“NO FINISH LINE” is the greatest series of charity events around the globe that already counts six races in as many countries. It is held under the auspices of the “No Finish Line International” non-profit organisation and arrived to Greece in 2017 by the “Stavros Niarchos Foundation” and the “Ermis Constantinople 1877” sports-cultural club, while it is held with the support and cooperation of the Region of Attica, the Municipality of Kallithea and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre.

“NO FINISH LINE” is a charity event of 100 consecutive hours, where the participants run and walk for a noble cause. It is a race without time or distance limit, whose kilometres are turned into money in order to carry out programmes for the children. Everyone, without exception whatsoever, is entitled to participate regardless of their age or fitness and all the participants can either walk or run at any time of the day or the night they wish, for as many times and any days they want, in any way and pace and for as long as it pleases them, by placing one single entry!

20 years since the first “NO FINISH LINE” was held in Monaco (1999), the “No Finish Line Athens” event was recognised as “The Magic Edition” of the global series due to its unique success, as it is an event that attracts many international participants, but, also an event with one of the highest increases in kilometres and donations over the years.

In 2017, the race of Athens was integrated in the global series of the “NO FINISH LINE” races and, since then, it has to show the following impressive facts:

  • 1stNFLAthens, 26-30 April 2017: 6,202 participants / 50,903 kilometres
  • 2ndNFLAthens, 25-29 April 2018: 10,178 participants / 95,295 kilometres
  • 3rdNFLAthens, 10-14 April 2019: 12,000 participants / 111,962 kilometres

IN TOTAL: 85,000 visitors – 28,380 participants – 258,160 kilometres – 129,080 Euros donation!

The “4th No Finish Line Athens” will start on Wednesday 6 May 2020 at 09:00 and will finish after 100 consecutive hours on Sunday 10 May at 13:00.
