- GATE CRASH THE ATHENS MARATHON 10KM ROAD RACE -

Yes, we know it’s a bit early in the morning for you guys but sometimes sacrifices have to be made….

READ CAREFULLY – I will only write this once!

THE PLAN: Mad Dog and Doggy Style will meet you just to the right of the Right Hand entrance of the Panathinaikon (Marble) stadium  (as you face the stadium from the road) at  08.15.

We will put your bags with change of clothes, etc. into a large bag and take it into the stadium seating area at 08.30 (the usual location - about half way down on the right hand side as you face the stadium from the road). Here Doggie Style will look after it until you collect it at the end of the run.  

You will then hurry across to the Zappeion building (allow at least 10 mins for this) and join the other 10km runners on Amalias Avenue in front the Zappeion Megaro entrance and at the level Eurobank building on the direction to Syntagma Square. The run starts at 08.45

If you don't have a bag then you can go directly to the Zappeion entrance and join the race. If you have a bag and are late, then you will need to find Doggy Style in the stadium. Look for the large JUMBO plastic bag holding the runners bags which should be easy to see.

At the end of the run you will probably be herded into the stadium by the officials and given a medal. Don't worry, they usually have lots of spare ones.

Doggy Style's mobile no. is 693 680 9664 (but she may not hear it ringing in the stadium if the music is playing loudly. You could also try sending an SMS).

(Mad Dog's mobile is 693 251 1339 but only on him up till 08.30)

Meet in the Stadium after the run (Where Doggy Style will be sitting) as we plan to have a mini-circle in the stadium and then go to the James Joyce for lunch after the run as usual.

IF LOST - YOU ARE LOST – just go home…..
