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.

The legendary start of the Spartathlon takes place every year at 07:00 in the morning right at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens, in front of the evocative Odeon of Herodes Atticus. This moment marks the beginning of one of the toughest and most fascinating ultramarathons in the world, 246 kilometers long.
