Running the Marathon Highlights
Welcome to the Athens Authentic Marathon Legendary Race!
The Athens Authentic Marathon has become on of the 25 “Golden Marathons in the world”.
The day of the Marathon begins as always ceremonially with the lighting of the Marathon flame at the tomb of the soldiers who fell in the ancient battle and the flame relay to the altar at the start line. Runners are priviledged to finish their race in the legendary stadium where the first Olympic games of the modern era in 1896 took place; a priceless lifetime experience.
