For more information click here.

All the above are collected by the guardians of the kids, or collectively by the group leader (for group/school registrations).


RACE DAY

KIDS GATHERING AT THE START AREA
At the day of the race, and since the race starts at 10.30, all children participating, must be gathered at the designated start area, at least one and a half hour before the Race, which means from 09.30 until 10.00 the latest. Kids arriving after that timeline, will not be able to participate at the Race.

GUARDIAN DEPARTURE
At 10.15, all guardians and group leaders should depart from the start area with the kids’ clothes, and head towards the Panathenaic Stadium, where the kids will finish the race.

FINISH AREA & KIDS COLLECTION
In order to collect the children, guardians/group leaders should refer to the volunteers and staff on the designated area, responsible for the welfare of the children. This area is in a seating area of the Panathenaic Stadium, right across the finish line. Our volunteers and staff will escort the children outside the field of play, and guide them towards the mentioned designated seating area.

The group leaders can collect the children and deliver them to their guardians, ONLY by demonstrating the Guardian Certificate that they have collected from the Runners' Centre (the one they collected with their bib number). No one can collect the kid from that area without this certificate.
