About the race

The Athens Authentic Marathon follows the legendary original route from Marathon to Athens, tracing the path of the ancient Greek messenger Pheidippides. The challenging course includes significant elevation gain before a dramatic finish inside the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the first modern Olympics in 1896. It is considered the most historically significant marathon in the world.
