  • Why the Athens Marathon Is on So Many Runners' Bucket Lists
    Paul Samaras Apostolos Greek Tours, Inc. (303) 755-2888 [email protected] athensmarathon.com Why the Athens Marathon is on So Many Runners’ Bucket Lists Athens, Greece: While the Battle of Marathon is world famous as the inspiration for the Marathon race, many historians and philosophers consider it as the most significant battles in human history. In order to understand its importance, we go back to 508 B.C. Athens when the idea of democracy (dēmokratía) was a revolutionary new concept. This idea gave the individual certain freedoms, a voice in how the power of rule would apply. At this point democracy had not been tested or fully established. Then, in 490 B.C at the Battle of Marathon near Athens, Greece, free men fought with the new concept of freedom against suppression and slavery as their battle cry. Paul Samaras, born in Greece and owner of Apostolos Greek Tours, Inc. is very familiar with this history. “The battle became significant because it allowed democracy to develop and establish itself” says Paul, “If the battle had been lost, this new idea of democracy would have vanished and would not have been documented in history.” After the victory of the Battle of Marathon, Athens reached prosperous new heights. The victory inspired Greek society and culture – biology, geometry, philosophy, physics, forms of epic and lyric poetry, theater, tragedy, and comedy emerged. Democracy blossomed and became the foundation of Western Civilization. Legend has it that the Greek messenger Pheidippides ran from the battlefield at Marathon to Athens in order to relay news of the victory.

  • The Event Image of the Athens Marathon from the Sport Tourist Marathon Runners’ Perspective: a Qualitative and Quantitative Approach
    RESEARCH PAPERS 1 The event image of the Athens Marathon from the Sport Tourist Marathon Runners’ perspective: A qualitative and quantitative approach Contact details Name author(s): K. Kaplanidou, PhD (Assistant Professor) (1), D. Funk, PhD (Professor) (2), N. Buta (PhD student) (3) & G. Goutzioupas (4) Institution(s) or organisation(s): University of Florida (1, 3); Griffith University (2); Athens Classic Marathon (4) City and country: Gainesville, USA (1, 3); Queensland, Australia (2); Athens, Greece (4) marketing sport Email address for correspondence: [email protected] Aim of paper and research questions The purpose of the study was to understand and describe the event image components of active sport tourist participants (i.e., marathon runners). The research question of the study was: a) what are the dominant event image themes for active sport tourists such as marathon runners? Literature review Sport events can be classified based on their size (e.g., small, large), the type of sport tourist they attract (e.g., active, passive), the imagery they can generate for their audiences through the media (Chalip, Green & Hill, 2003) and through direct experiences (Kaplanidou & Vogt, 2007). The image a sport tourist holds of a sport event or destination may influence their likelihood of re-visiting the host destination (Bigne, Sanchez & Sanjez, 2001), which can provide economic benefits for the host community (Gratton, Shilbi & Coleman, 2005). Event imagery may vary depending on the nature or size of the sport event and the type of sport tourist (i.e., active or passive). Kaplanidou (2006) conceptualised the image of a sport event from the active sport tourist perspective (i.e.

Female participants scored higher in coping, self-esteem, and goal achievement than their male counterparts (p < 0.05). The <30 age group scored higher than the 35–40 and 40–45 age groups in “competing with other runners” for male participants (p < 0.05).
