ATHENS, GREECE
After the huge success of OPAP MARATHON EXPO 2023, which took place in a festive atmosphere of mass interest, we are about to welcome the 2024 OPAP MARATHON EXPO which comes not only to repeat the success of last event’s edition, but also to further enhance its popularity and the enormous possibilities it offers, with even more participations and a new visitor record. If referring to the 2023 Marathon EXPO we are talking about one of the most popular and upcoming exhibition events of the year, we are certain that this year’s EXPO will be the absolute sports event in Europe!
With a record-number of participants from the largest companies in the market, with a truly impressive group of sponsors, more than 60,000 visitors and an unprecedented interest for registrations in the Athens Marathon races, we do realize that the last Marathon EXPO did not only rise the expectations and increased the responsibility for future events, but set even stronger foundations for what is about to follow!
And what follows is the 2024 OPAP MARATHON EXPO, which will be held from November 6 to 9, 2024 at the Faliro Indoor Hall & Exhibition Centre, with the Original Athens Marathon ‘closing’ the exciting four-day event on November 10!
