If you are (or become) a member of Aegean Airlines Miles & Bonus Frequent Flyer Program, you receive a 40% discount for entry to the OPAP Limassol International Marathon in Cyprus on April 10, 2016 – and you earn bonus miles for completing the race.
There are four distances available, the Marathon, the Half Marathon, the 10K Race and the 5K Race. Here are the details:
In other words, Aegean Airlines will give you 100 Miles for each kilometer you run!

I wonder whether Aegean Air has similar promotions for other marathons? I really like when airlines promote running and races. Some other airlines which have also had race-related promotions are KLM/AirFrance and Alaska Airlines.
Here are some more details from the Aegean Air website:

If I were to tell someone living in Paris that they should consider earning frequent flier miles with Alaska Airlines, they’d likely give me a puzzled look.
