ECTRI celebrates Professor George Yannis of the ECTRI Member National Technical University of Athens for completing his ambitious 30 Marathons in 30 Months Challenge. With this challenge, the Professor aimed to advocate for 30 km/h speed limits in cities and demonstrate exceptional dedication to road safety.
Speeding remains a primary cause of road crashes and pedestrian casualties in cities worldwide. Through this initiative, Professor Yannis has extended his advocacy for road safety beyond academic circles, running 30 marathons to promote the adoption of 30 km/h speed limits in cities globally. This speed limit is crucial for creating safer, healthier, and more sustainable urban environments.
His final marathon in Athens, concluding at the historic Panathinaikon Marble Stadium, symbolises the steady progress towards sustainable urban mobility.
ECTRI was happy to support Professor Yannis’ vision and achievement! Through this type of efforts, we can work towards improving safety in our cities.
