Dimitris & Tina started off in 2007 as a coach-athlete duo. We had a great run of personal bests, success and international experience - winning the Balkan Cross Champs, competing at two World Cross Champs, and making the 2012 Greek Olympic Team. While celebrating milestones, we also confronted injuries, training plateaus, and disappointing results - experiences that refined our strategy and strengthened our partnership.
Building on Our History and being passionate about fostering athletic growth in anyone who seeks it, we founded Marathon Club in 2012 to democratize running excellence. Led by Dimitri’s vision to empower athletes of all levels, we’ve grown from a tight-knit group of 12 to a vibrant community of over 80 members—each united by a shared passion for health, resilience, and the transformative power of running.
Over 20+ years, we’ve refined a coaching philosophy anchored in consistency, patience, and influenced heavily by legends like Arthur Lydiard, Renato Canova, Jack Daniels, and the Norwegian Method. Our evolution from Marathon Club to BQ Run Club reflects our confidence in delivering Boston Qualifiers—a commitment we back with a guarantee for athletes who follow our protocols.
From racing down the track as a young boy to shaping Olympians and national record holders, Dimitris has lived and breathed running his entire life. With over two decades of elite coaching experience, he brings unmatched expertise and passion to every athlete he works with.
Since 2021, Dimitris has served as the Distance Coordinator for the Hellenic Athletics Federation, where he has played a pivotal role in the evolution of Greece’s distance running and race walking programs.
Dimitris is the driving force behind Greece's highly successful Marathon Club and now leads the BQ Run Club, where his focus is on long-term performance, injury prevention, and holistic development.
Whether you're chasing a personal best or an Olympic dream, Dimitris brings the same level of dedication, strategy, and heart to help you go the distance.
