For another year, our people participated in the largest running event in the country, continuing a tradition that combines sports, well-being and shared experiences.
The Principia Running Team was once again present at the running events of the 43rd Authentic Marathon of Athens, participating on Saturday, November 7, in the 5 km race. Our colleagues ran on the streets of the capital, along with thousands of runners of all ages, participating in one of the most important sports events in the country.
At the same time, our employees also participated in the Authentic Marathon of 42.195 kilometers, which took place on Sunday, November 8, taking on the challenge of a particularly demanding route, which requires systematic preparation, perseverance and endurance.
An ongoing tradition
Our participation in the running events of the Athens Authentic Marathon is now a constant tradition for us. Since 2022, our employees have been present at the event, with the Principia Running Team bringing together colleagues from different departments and teams of the company, with a common interest in running and sports activity. Also, our team has participated in the 5 km race of the Athens Half Marathon, supporting the programs of "EXELIXI ZOIS", as well as in sports events with a social character, such as Greece Race for the Cure, contributing to the awareness of the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
These events give our people the opportunity to meet outside the professional environment, to share a different experience and to set personal sports goals. For some, participation is a continuation of their systematic involvement in running, while for others it is the occasion to try their hand at an organized race for the first time.
Wellness as part of our daily lives
Our actions are part of a wider effort to promote the health and well-being of our employees. In our Corporate Hub, we have established an exercise program within working hours with stretching and functional workout sessions, giving everyone the opportunity to integrate fitness into their daily lives. At the same time, through the internal Athletic Games, which we recently organized, we created additional opportunities for sports and participation in individual and team sports, such as basketball, padel and ping-pong.
Through these initiatives, we seek to foster a work culture in which taking care of physical and mental health has an essential place. Participation in this year's Authentic Marathon adds to this ongoing effort, highlighting the importance of consistency, resilience, and the joy of participating, regardless of records and performances.
