The global initiative is organised by the No Finish Line Foundation. It encourages participants to run or walk as much as they wish over a continuous 100-hour period.
For every kilometre completed, sponsors donate one euro to the charity Together for Children.
The Athens event will run from 09:00 on Wednesday, 22 April, until 13:00 on Sunday, 26 April. Organisers will keep the park open throughout the event, with full infrastructure in place to support participants at all hours.
“Anyone can join the race at any time during the event and take part for as long as they choose, reinforcing the inclusive nature of the initiative.”
