The legendary start of the Spartathlon below the Acropolis. At 7 o'clock in the morning the approx. 390 runners start in the direction of Sparta - 246.8 kilometers! I was allowed to be one of them.

The SPARTATHLON is a historic ultra-distance race that takes place in Greece every September. It is one of the most difficult and satisfying ultra-distance races in the world due to its unique history and background.
