Half Marathon for the Dignity of Homeless People!

Homelessness is a social challenge that should not be overlooked. Through initiatives like this half marathon, we bring the issue to the forefront, strengthen solidarity, and remind everyone that dignity is a right for all.

We Ran to Make a Difference for the Homeless!

At the 13th Athens Half Marathon, dozens of runners put on their sports gear and joined the movement, supporting Ithaca’s mission. Among them, 43 employees of Elval Colour, with their product Apticon, provided the energy and spirit needed for this important initiative! Additionally, 19 individual runners chose Ithaca as their team, running independently to support our cause.

This race was not just a sporting event—it was an opportunity to come together, share a common vision, and show that our society can stand by those in need. The smiles, energy, and spirit of giving made this event special for everyone.

Why Does the Half Marathon Matter for Homelessness?

At Ithaca, we never stop reminding people that homelessness is an issue that concerns us all. Through initiatives like this half marathon, we keep the conversation alive, raise awareness, and—most importantly—provide real support to those in need.

Dignity should not be a luxury. Everyone deserves the chance to live with respect. Every small effort, every step we take together, contributes to this goal. Through our actions, we give a voice to those who are often unheard and work to create opportunities for a better future.

Thank You!

Without the support of our participants and partners, none of this would have been possible. A huge thank you to DryFit.gr, who provided us with the race shirts, and to all of you who ran, supported, and became part of this incredible experience!
