The Olympic Day Run is the only official Olympic run in Greece, endorsed by the International Olympic Committee, and brings together Olympians, Paralympians, and distinguished athletes. The event promotes Greece as the birthplace of the Olympic Games and offers high-level athletic, educational, and cultural activities.

Why attend here

Run the actual route where the marathon was born, finishing at the marble Panathenaic Stadium, then wander through the Plaka's autumn-lit lanes for a glass of retsina and a plate of saganaki. Late November in Athens is mild and quiet, so you can explore the Acropolis without the summer crush and enjoy the olive groves of the historic course in crisp, golden light.
