Presenting the 2024 Posidonia Running Event trophies

Donated in memory of Stelios Kyriakides, who won the 1946 Boston marathon, with the aim of raising money to provide food and shelter to the Greeks, who were experiencing severe poverty after the Second World War and Greek Civil War.
 

The trophies are Olive Wreaths, made of genuine olive branch plated with 24k gold and donated by Stelios’ son, Dimitris Kyriakides. The same trophies are awarded to winners of the Boston Marathon.
