Summary: A short video from my Ipod Nano showing the lead up to the Athens Classic Marathon. I was lucky enough to be able to go along to the opening ceremonies and torch parade in Marathon on Saturday 7th November. This comparatively small gathering was attended by the President of Greece, the Deputy Minister of Culture, the Mayor of Marathon and members of the AIMS (Association of International Marathons organisers) symposium who were also meeting in Marathon for the weekend. Also you get a glimpse of the new Marathon Museum, opened officially by the Greek President that day and the historic starting line of the first Olympic Marathon (1896), in Marathon itself. I recorded interviews with some interesting people including the Mayor of the City of Marathon himself who has recorded a special and exclusive wishes for all listeners to the A Mile with Me podcast. This message will be on the Athens Classic Marathon edition of A Mile with Me as we follow my adventures and run from Marathon to Athens. It will be out soon!Download Podcast Video
