We established the Cretan Marathon Club in 1999, after three decades of active participation in the athletic events of Crete.

We are all athletes, mainly at long distance and marathon races, counting up to 72 subscribed and active members.

The club is non for profit and our aim has mostly to do with the emergence of the high athletic ideal which can become our mode of life, in case we combine it with systematic body training from the formative age.

Our new talents academy is consisted of 68 boys and girls who, under the supervision of special coaches, take part on various racing contests especially in small and middle distances. Also, we organize walking and climbing excursions.

We maintain an athletic library and a well equipped gym for our athletes.

We also conduct an annual seminar on specialized athletic topics such as "Prevention of Wounding and Athletic Diet", with the participation of skilled medical scientists, cardiologists, physiotherapists and dieteticians.

Our annual calendar of races, excursions and special events is being usually announced in December.

Last, targeting to a good communication and relationship among our members and their families, we organize several interesting events such as excursions, meetings and gatherings all year round.
