RUNNING the ATHENS MARATHON!

Here is the race recap/review/vlog for my time running the Athens Authentic Marathon in Athens, Greece! We're heading to the expo, looking at the swag given with marathon race registration, race day goals, the hotel I stayed at, and the race itself! Hope you enjoy!

For anyone registering this year, it's worth pointing out that the backpack, travel pass, face towel etc are part of a premium entry fee. Regular entry is significantly cheaper!

Looks like an amazing run! I'll have to look out for Lemon Drop at my very first marathon this year!

Well done for finishing this one! I recognised myself in your video at 13:06-13:07! I'm the guy with the orange jersey and the blue shorts to your front-right. I was strong up until the 28th K after which my left leg siezed with cramps and I just barely got to the end. I hope you enjoyed yourself during your stay and wish you all the best in your future runs.

Dear Liz!
Thank you for the concise but detailed presentation! I also want to run it next year. I recommend Budapest, Paris, Rome as marathon locations.

Thank you for your video, I enjoyed watching this special marathon through somebody else's eyes. I have run it three times (2022, 2021 and 2022), and hoping to run it again in 2026, for yet another ghastly birthday they aren't the fun at my age as when I was a kid :)

I'm new to the marathon scene. I've done plenty of halfs, but I just finished my second one today, and I signed up for Athens this year. Judging by the hills, I doubt it'll be another PR, but I feel pretty good about it...after I recover from this one.

Nice video. They call it the Athens AUTHENTIC Marathon because it uses (for the most part) the original race courses of ancient times and for the first recreated, competitive marathon race in 1896. So, it's a "claim" that no other major marathon race can make.

Hey,
which hotel did u use? Epidavros has had a great view from the top and breakfast hall to the akropolis. 17 km uphill, 6.300 kcal after 5:45, that was the toughest of my marathons. 42 at the 42th?

Bravo Liz !!! I thought, you would run only a part of the race. Not the hole route !!!
On the ``medal`` is written : ``ΑΘΛΟΝ ΤΩ ΚΑΛΛΙΝΙΚΩ`` We still use these ancient words, but I can`t transfer the right meaning to ENG or DEU. (don`t try google).
