Θα συμμετάσχω για πρώτη μου φορά στις 14 Νοεμβρίου,έχω καταφέρει να τρέξω 42.2 χιλιόμετρα αλλά όχι σε τόσο δύσκολη διαδρομή,εύχομαι να τα καταφέρω όπως και όλοι οι συμμετέχοντες,είναι μεγάλη τιμή για εμένα να τρέξω στην κλασική αυθεντική διαδρομή,και ύψιστη τιμή ο τερματισμός στο Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο.
Great video. How much of this course is the original course run by Phideppedis and/or the course at the 1896 Athens Games? I don't understand why there is that extra loop early on (around 5km, in Agias Sparsekvis)? What purpose does that achieve? Certainly Phideppedis did NOT run that to get the news to Athens. That part is sort of dumb. Why have it??
@@consoldier__7846 Ah. OK; acceptable explanation. Thanks, BTW, I just saw a historic photo of the original 1896 group of runners assembled at the start of the race beside a modest building (which could have been the town of Marathon City Hall? or a successful merchant's house?). Does the Authentic Race start at this exact same spot as 1896, even though that structure is no longer there?
The exact distance we consider a marathon to be now wasn't the case even in the 1st modern Olympics. There may have been some adjustment to get it to official marathon distance. There's also no way to no the exact course of Phideppedis, so approximating it has to be done.

That loop is Where the tomb of the Athenian soldiers of the battle of marathon is so the runners pass around it

@@gideonparry5684 I am aware of the hit-miss history of the official length of today's marathon. Thanks for the added clarification.
