My 12th Half Marathon
Hey y'all,
After taking part in various 3Km, 5km and semi-marathon races in Athens (x9), Nafplio and Philadelphia in the United States, I finally took part in the first semi-marathon ever organized in my birthplace, Corinth.
I finished 79th out of 256 participants, not so bad, huh? The organization wasn't perfect but it's the first time I ever run in such race and the organizers announced your rank a couple of minutes after you made it to the finish line. Probably because of the limited participation? I don't know!
One way or another, I fully enjoyed it and I added another medal in my collection. Glad to see little beautiful things happening in my city.

Quite nice-looking medal, no?

Hey, congrats on the run!! That is impressive the position you got too!
Thank you very much. It was totally fun :)
How far is that from the actual Marathon, the place after which the race was created?
Corinth is about 2 hours (by the car) from Marathon. Maybe a little less.

Congratulations on finishing. Great photos. 👏 We have a rock-'n'-roll marathon here in San Antonio every year, they have live bands along the route, that the contestants can listen too as they run past.
Thanks :)
eisai oraios!

Your life is a traveler. Nice traveling photo.
