35th Athens Marathon. The Authentic!
Sunday 12/11/2017
Dedicated to the Balkan Champion Grigoris Lambrakis

The Athens Marathon, the Authentic, is a unique running-event of great historical importance. Carrying on the tradition since the first Olympics in 1896, the runners follow the classic marathon route retracing the steps of Pheidippides himself!

As of 2010, which happened to be the 2.500 years anniversary of the Marathon Battle, the Athens Classic Marathon is included in the "Golden Marathons", the most important marathon events organised annually all over the world.

This year approximately 50,000 runners from 100 countries are expected to participate.
