Olympia Marathon

Olympia Marathon is offering a unique opportunity to experience the principles of Olympism and Marathon ideals, the beauty and the history of Greece. Runners will have the chance to run along the birthplace of the Olympic Games and Zeus' sacred place and follow the traces of history in the legendary path from Ancient Elis to Olympia, which run the athletes prior to their participation to the Olympic Games.

Runners can enjoy living history through the priceless offerings of the area, walking though the impressive ruins of the area where athletes trained and run in the ancient stadium; just as the ancient Olympians did after their victory 3000 years ago. They can also visit the museum and get the chance to see some unbelievable sculptures such as the sculpted decoration of the temple of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the famous Hermis of Praxiteles and the statue of Nike of Paionios.
