Rhodes Virtual Marathon 2021
The Rhodes Marathon, adapts to the data of the season and thus this year offers the opportunity to its friends, in an extremely difficult period, to participate safely in the Rhodes Virtual Marathon.
The primary concern of the organization is to protect public health and support the implementation of state measures to limit the spread of Covid-19.
The entire racing community has two wishes at the moment. The end of this difficult period for hundreds of thousands of our fellow human beings affected by the coronavirus and a return to our daily lives and races.
This is a struggle that we are each one of us individually, responsibly and following all the rules of protection and hygiene, but at the same time we are all united together.
Our goal is to strengthen the morale of all runners and at the same time to emphasize the necessity of a responsible attitude towards ourselves and society as a whole.
The Virtual race will take place from Friday 9 April to Sunday 9 May and will include Marathon, Half Marathon and 10 km, 5 km and 2 km road races.
Registration for the race starts on Monday 15 March and will close on Wednesday 5 May.
You can upload your time from Friday 9 April until Sunday 9 May.
