23 Jun
International Olympic Day
It was on June 23, 1894, at the International Athletics Congress, that it was decided to return the Olympic Games to the tradition we are still familiar with today: to hold competitions every four years, and to include all of the world’s nations The purpose of International Olympic Day is simple and clear – it aims to unite people with a common idea and promote a culture of physical education.
Half marathons or mass races are one of many ways to celebrate this day. As a rule, they are organized on the weekends before this date.
