What is Pikermi?
Basically, the term Pikermi relates to the route of the original “marathon” in Greece, which was from the town of Marathon to Athens approximately 26.2 miles (the distance of a marathon). The town of Pikermi is about the mid-point between Marathon and Athens, therefore being a distance of about 13.1 miles.
Why Pure?
What’s more pure than running? Mankind has been doing so since they evolved upright to hunt prey and to escape from enemies. We practice a form of running every day, it’s called walking. No matter if you walk for necessity or run/walk for fitness it’s a natural movement when done correctly can improve your health, prevent disease, reduce stress, lose weight, boost confidence and eliminate depression. Let’s hear it for the endorphin rush that running produces!
