Social Responsibility
Since its inception, the Poseidon Half Marathon, in order to support the "ALMA" Association for children with intellectual disabilities and autism, has included in its events a Social Contribution Race of 1 or 2 km.
To participate in the Charity Race individually or as a group, school, etc., each person pays a symbolic amount or any larger amount they wish directly to the "ALMA" Association's bank account.
In addition to the special race, with the operation of the new registration system, in recent years we have also included the option for every participating runner in all races to optionally contribute any amount they wish to the "ALMA" Association.
We thank the domestic and foreign runners who, during the registration process, included an amount to support the "ALMA" Association.
The extra amount collected from both actions amounted to 1,570 euros and was delivered to the "ALMA" Association on the day of the races during the Group Awards ceremony.
The Organization provided the "ALMA" Association with the list of contributions so that the Association could send emails to personally thank each contributor for their social sensitivity.

Dear Mr. Liapis,
The members of the Board of Directors, the parents, and the children of ALMA would like to express their deepest gratitude for your generous support in providing two race routes for the Social Contribution Run, held during the 16th Poseidon Half-Marathon on April 27, 2025.
We feel profoundly grateful and commend you for your sensitivity towards children and young people with disabilities. Your gesture reinforces our belief that the values of contribution and solidarity towards vulnerable groups in our society are still alive, and that together we can shape a more inclusive and open community.
Additionally, we would like to inform you that through this year’s event, the amount of €1,570.00 was raised, which will be allocated to support the mission and activities of our association.
ALMA provides daily care for 250 individuals with autism and/or intellectual disabilities and employs 90 staff members. We operate a Day Center for Children in Palaio Faliro, a Day Center for Adolescents and Adults in Nea Smyrni, a Creative Activities Center in Palaio Faliro, two Supported Living Residences in Palaio Faliro and Ilioupoli, and a Protected Apartment in Palaio Faliro.
Our mission is to empower individuals with disabilities through education, social inclusion and integration, family support, and public awareness.
We sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
With appreciation,
