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!

Bravo!!! My sister and I lives in Athens and it's her 3rd time joining the authentic 42km marathon this yr!

[@runawaywithliz]

Very cool! Congrats to her! I hope she has fun running it again this year!

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

[@runawaywithliz]

Thanks for watching!! Lemon Drop Hill will be a piece of cake! Have fun with training!

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.

[@runawaywithliz]

How cool! And congratulations on your finish as well! Between the heat and that incline it was a tough one! I enjoyed exploring Athens very much, and good luck to you on your future training goals as well!

Great video - was looking for a good overview of the experience ahead of running this year, this was perfect, thank you!

[@runawaywithliz]

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful for you!

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 :)

[@runawaywithliz]

I think that sounds like a fabulous way to spend a birthday! I'm glad you enjoyed the video-I had fun putting it together! It is such a cool experience!

I’m running my 5th Athens this year

[@runawaywithliz]

Very neat! Hope you have fun with it!

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).

[@runawaywithliz]

Thank you! The medal is beautiful. It was a fun race with great energy from the spectators!
