Thank you for posting this. My wife, (who is Greek) and I ran Boston in 2010, (2500 anniversary of the marathon) in honor of the great Stylianos Kyriakides. It was a special moment we will never forget. :-)

Great history of running Sam, super interesting, i enjoyed that 👍🏃

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks a lot - really appreciate it 😁 I think it's such a great story and a shame not many people know him!

I hadn't heard of that story before. I think it's interesting to see that in the photo at 1:03 I can't see a single product logo on anyone's clothing. Nowadays there would be so many company logos.

Amen to that - very refreshing to see indeed!

Hi I showed this video to the son of Stylianos and he is very happy with it, how can we get in touch with you because he wanted to communicate to you regarding this. Thanks!
