MEET THE GREEK GODS ON OLYMPUS





Olympus Marathon is a unique trail running event held annually on
Mount Olympus, the Greek mythical “Mountain of the gods”.



The route itself revives the pilgrimage of ancient Greeks to Mount
Olympus, where they ascended every year to honour and sacrifice to
Zeus.



The race starts every last Sunday of June from the remains of the
sacred city of Dion, just at the sunrise.



The athletes starting from a sea-level altitude follow 44km of trails
at the slopes of Mt Olympus and reach the height of 2780m retracing
history and myth
