The Olympic Day Run GREECE is described as the country's only and official Olympic Run, held under the signature of the International Olympic Committee, communicating Greece internationally as the birthplace of the Olympic Games. It brings together Olympians, Paralympians and distinguished athletes each year.

Why attend here

Run the route where the marathon was born, finishing in the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern Olympics were held. In late November, Athens is pleasantly cool with clear skies, perfect for exploring the Acropolis and the ancient Agora without the summer crowds. After the race, treat yourself to a hearty plate of moussaka or souvlaki at a local taverna in Plaka, and warm up with a glass of Greek coffee as you soak in the city's timeless energy.
