PRESS RELEASE: Vilnius Marathon Became the First Crypto Marathon in The World – Rewarded Runners With Crypto Tokens

The “Danske Bank Vilnius Marathon “, which took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, on September 9, is the first sports event where participants were rewarded with Lympo (LYM) cryptocurrency tokens.
