The SNF Running Team is here in time for the Athens Marathon!

Give it all you have. Every day. SNF Running Team.

At SNF, we know that changing the world for the better is not a sprint—it's a marathon. Perseverance, patience, and investing time in what truly matters are integral to both philanthropy and the sport of running, and they are deeply embedded in our DNA.

That’s why establishing the SNF Running Team—a team open to all runners—felt like a natural step, especially after years of organizing the SNF Nostos Run and SNF RUN: FIRST RUN at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in collaboration with the nonprofit Regeneration & Progress and the recent excitement of the SNF Bréal Cup Challenge on the popular Strava app.

The SNF Running Team’s first act was to reach out to the members of the SNF Strava Club, inviting them to register for the races at the 41st Authentic Athens Marathon. Although spots for this iconic event sold out fast, SNF, again in collaboration with Regeneration & Progress, secured 50 entries for the Authentic Marathon route, 150 entries for the 10K race, and 300 entries for the 5K race, all offered free of charge to team members.

Every member of the SNF Running Team also had the chance to participate in free training sessions from the SNFCC Running Team. Their official Marathon kit included a specially designed SNF Running Team t-shirt featuring the team’s slogan—a quote from SNF Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos: "Give it all you have. Every day."
