There are road races over 26 miles all around the world – but there is only one original marathon. It still more or less follows the route that Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens to report a famous victory in the battle against the Persians. It’s the race that every long-distance runner wants to compete in – but it’s far from the easiest course in the world. Run with us and our experienced running coach will not only do warm-up runs with you, including a running tour to see the sites of ancient Athens, he will also talk you through the ups and downs of the course itself and work with you on a strategy to make sure you finish the race having given your best performance.
