Logo Created To Commemorate
2500th Anniversary of the Marathon Next
year marks the 2500th anniversary of the marathon and to
commemorate this historic occasion the Hellenic
Athletics Federation (SEGAS) and the Athens Classic
Marathon (ACM) Organizing Committee, in collaboration
with AIMS, have created a unique logo.
In 2010, the world Marathon movement celebrates the
2500th anniversary of the Marathon Battle (490 BC) and
the legend of Pheidippides the Greek soldier-runner who
ran from the village of Marathon to Athens bearing the
message of victory to the Athenians. This legend
provided the impetus for the establishment of the
Marathon as an event during the first Modern Olympic
Games, held in Athens in 1896.
The logo created to mark the 2500th anniversary of the
legend of the Marathon is available for use as a
supplementary item by race organisations during the year
2010, highlighting the importance and symbolism for
world peace and solidarity that the year 2010 brings.
The logo and conditions of use are available for
download at
www.aimsworldrunning.org .
Hiroaki Chosa, President of AIMS (Association of
International Marathons & Distance Races) commented:
“2010 is an important year in the history of marathon
running, marking the 2500th anniversary of the
historical run from Marathon to Athens. AIMS is
