Athens Classic Marathon, Greece

Taking it back to where it all began, the course of the Athens Classic Marathon is based on the legend from Ancient Greece, when a messenger called Pheidippides ran from the Battle of Marathon to Athens to announce the victory of the Greeks over the Persians. The Athens Classic Marathon ends at the Panathenaic Stadium, the only stadium in the world built entirely out of marble and one the main ancient attractions in Athens. Taking part in this legendary race will make you feel like a true champion from times gone by.
