Navarino Challenge Kicks Off Friday
The Navarino Challenge is set to take place in Greece on September 19th, 20th and 21st, to raise awareness on the international epidemic of childhood obesity and the attributes of a Mediterranean diet.
All ages are encouraged to participate in the race to support the cause. Greek-American ultramarathon runner Dean (Konstantinos) Karnaze serves as the ambassador of this year's event. The professional athlete plans to inform local parents and children on youth obesity issues and how it can be overcome through healthy lifestyles, sports, and proper nutrition.
The Navrino Challenge was honored with a Gold Award at the 2014 Tourism Awards. On Saturday, the 20th, a 15 kilometer Challenge is being held in Kalamata, while on Sunday, the 21st, a half marathon, 5 kilometer and a children's 1 kilometer Challenge will take place. Hundreds of runners from all around the world are expected at this year's Navarino Challenge. More information can be found at: www.navarinochallenge.com.
