Democracy at Stake celebrates the 50th anniversary of Christo's famous 24.5 mile long 'Running Fence' which was staked in 1974. Democracy at Stake is installed along the path of the BRC Ultramarathon to honor Christo and the original marathon runner who rallied the citizens of the original democracy Athens of their army's victory over the Persian Empire.
Made of similar materials as the Running Fence, Democracy at Stake encourages runners with messages and encourages people to run for something. Illuminated from within it provides a beacon for hope and will be reinstalled for a milestone on a commemorative marathon along the roads adjacent to the Running Fence
