Marathon2500 is a project of the New York-based nonprofit, Reading Odyssey, Inc.

The mission of Marathon2500 is to make it easy for people around the world to celebrate and learn about the significance of the Battle of Marathon, which happened 2,500 years ago (as of September 2011).

The Reading Odyssey seeks to reignite curiosity and lifelong learning - or - as Aristotle might way, we are helping people to practice the habit of wisdom.

We run phone, web and live events such as reading groups, lectures, conferences and the global arts celebration, Slow Art Day.

Our Board

Below are the volunteers - scholars, sponsors and readers - who are on the Board and help make all of the programs of the Reading Odyssey possible.
