The Poseidon Athens Half Marathon is one of our favorite races – even though it is a little longer than a normal half marathon, the route is breathtaking as it goes along the Athens South Riviera coastline.

Run2stars were prompt at their rendevous with Poseidon eager to make a personal bet.

Elena ran the quarter marathon as she has just completed her marathon this month and was not allowed to run more – great result in the end as she came second in her age-group, and 16th out of 131 women overall.

I ran the half marathon, being my first race after my knee injury in February and very happy with my results – 1:51:48 and second in my age -group and 20th out of 129 women overall!!

Some people would say that second place is the first place’s loser …… well we don’t agree as second place is a great motivation to come first the next time round.

Thank you Poseidon for being so generous to us on our third date!!!!!
