43ος Αυθεντικός Μαραθώνιος 2026

The Athens Authentic Marathon, held in November, is Greece’s main marathon event. It centers on the race known in Greece as “the Authentic.” The full marathon is the primary event, complemented by a 10K run during the same weekend and a 5K the preceding day. This structure accommodates both long-distance athletes and those seeking a shorter urban race. The marathon route traces the historical path from Marathon to Athens, concluding at the Panathenaic Stadium. This connects the contemporary race to the legend that inspired the marathon distance. The event also includes the Panhellenic Marathon Championship, bringing together national-level Greek competitors alongside club runners, participants running for charity, international visitors, and novice runners.
