The Athens Environmental Foundation (AEF) supports and encourages participation in the 3rd Modern Nemean Games, which will be held on July 31, 2004 and August 1, 2004.

The ancient Greeks celebrated festivals at Nemea that were part of the cycle of games at Olympia, Delphi and Isthmia. These ancient games are direct ancestors to today's modern Olympics.

On July 31, members of AEF's board of directors will participate in the 100m and 7500m footraces of the Modern Nemead. On August 1st, a tree in AEF's Global Olive Wreath will be planted at the Ancient Nemea Stadium site.

UC Berkeley Professor Stephen Miller discovered the site of the Ancient Nemea games, and has been the catalyst of their revival.
