#5 Sustainable Marathons: Interview with Dr Geoffery Z. Kohe

This episode is an interview with Dr Geoffery Z Kohe of the University of Kent in the UK. We discuss the sustainability of city-based marathons through drawing on Kohe’s recent article - co-authored with Niki Koutrou - on the Athens marathon. I also asked him about the ideas of ‘legacy’ in regards to mass sporting events and what role they can play in fostering an ‘urban commons’.
