Run the Authentic. Be Authentic

The Athens Authentic Marathon is more than a marathon, it is history. A unique experience for every marathon runner. It is not just a sporting event, a hard run, or a difficult route of 42,195m, it is more than that, the Athens Marathon is a bridge that unites legend with history framed in a running event.

This marathon has a unique and different route than you may have run in other marathons, where the tourist areas and the city are part of the route. It is a route that pays homage to the story of the soldier Pheidippides when he ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory of the Greek army over the Persians.

The start is in the city of Marathon, inside the Athletics Stadium and after the usual Olympic Oath, the start takes place. The first kilometers are gradually uphill until you reach the middle, which is where the least easy section is. From kilometer 31 the route begins to descend until it reaches Athens and reaches the finish line, which is inside the Panathinaikó Stadium, venue of the first games of the modern age in 1896 in which this athletic discipline was established.

An advice. During the tour there will be many people cheering and offering olive branches, so be nice and greet her with your best smile, as these people are cheering and thanking you!

Athens is one of the most historic cities you can visit. Cradle of great artists and philosophers of antiquity. A place where you can discover the ancient Greek cultures and immerse yourself in the magic of great temples and majestic buildings capable of lasting over time.

The official currency in Greece is the Euro €, so if you are traveling from a country with a different currency, don’t worry as we have the perfect solution for you.

We can show you the easiest way to exchange the exact currency amount you need so that you don’t have to exchange large amounts to be able to travel or pay extortionate fees.

We also offer another option to use local ATMs without fees and pay in stores with the local currency. You can then exchange any remaining amount that you haven’t used back into your local currency so that you don’t have to spend it all before going back home.

Get in touch and we will be happy to give you all the details.

The marathon course has some elevation between km 9 and 31 approximately. There is a gradual incline, the last 2 kilometres being the toughest.
It gets a lot easier after km 31, with a descent until you reach the city – helping you be light on your feet for the final stretch.
Before the marathon, the traditional Olympic Oath is taken, where the organisers ask for silence and the runners raise their right arm with their fingers joined together.
Remember to accept the olive twigs offered by the spectators and thank them. This small gesture means a lot to the Athenians and you’ll make their day.
The best way to get to the starting lines is with the transport offered by the marathon organisers. Our hotel is very close to one of the official pick-up points. Runners who don’t take this option will have to reach the starting area by their own means.
