After that, we attended lectures at the school theatre by the following speakers:

Ms Kyriakopoulou talked to the students about her life as an athlete stressing that, although she gave birth four months ago, she still trains for international championships. Ralleio students asked many questions, which led to a very interesting discussion. Ms Marialena Tsoulou, in charge of the volunteers of the Athens Authentic Marathon, and talked about volunteering in the event. Many of the students were interested and registered as Ralleio volunteers for the Athens Authentic Marathon, on the 12th of November 2017.
