The first run of the new year, SNF run: First Run from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) returns again!

The run is taking place as part of the holiday celebrations at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC). It starts at four minutes past, right after a spectacular fireworks show heralds the change of the year, covering a three-km route around an SNFCC decked out in festive lights.

This year’s SNF Run: First Run coincides with the 150th anniversary of the birth of Spyros Louis, who won the first modern Olympic marathon at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens. To mark this special anniversary, commemorative cups will be awarded to the first male and first female runner to finish the New Year’s race.

Fir trees glowing with lights and dazzling lighting installations in Stavros Niarchos Park, a concert by Jerome Kaluta and his big band, treats, balloons for kids, even more music, the ice rink at the Canal—this time made of synthetic ice that consumes zero energy—and many more delights set the stage for New Year’s Eve at the SNFCC. And as every year, a big party at the Agora will be awaiting the runners on their return, this time with a set by Italian DJ Beppe Loda!

Participating means offering kids a helping hand
SNF SNF Run: 2023 First Run once again has a charitable mission. With a minimum contribution of €5 (or more for those who wish), runners have the opportunity to support two nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping children: Karkinaki and the Kids Creative Learning Centers of the Municipality of Kos.
