The Organizing Committee has taken all the necessary measures for the safe conduct of the race, while looking forward to meeting even the highest expectations of every participating runner.
For the achievement and fulfillment of these goals, the support of the municipal authority of Antonis Kampourakis through DOPAR is invaluable. In a demanding and challenging era, such as the one we are going through, we are particularly happy to strengthen the level of cooperation with DOPAR. We thank the municipal authority and especially the President of the Organization Mr. Alexandros Koliadis for the important, tangible and substantial support", said Ms. Papavasiliou and added that:
"The Rhodes International Marathon is a race that takes place at the beginning of the tourist season with the main objective of promoting the island through a sporting event that attracts the attention of the world's running community. It is owned by the whole of Rhodes and is based on synergies, volunteerism and partnership with local bodies, commercial enterprises and groups operating on the island and beyond. Its great acceptance gives us the strength and courage to continue our efforts to consolidate its position among the world's leading running events".
