About European Marathon Classics
European Marathon Classics is the only pan-European project bringing together eight of Europe's iconic marathons: Rome, Vienna, Madrid, London, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Lisbon and Frankfurt. Its goal is to unite and celebrate the heritage of European marathon running while developing new opportunities and experiences for runners.
At this very early stage EMC offers a rare opportunity to help shape its future from the very beginning. We are not simply looking to fill a position - we are looking for someone who shares our passion for the project, believes in the power of collaboration, and wants to help build something truly unique.
