Athens Classic Marathon

There is something magic about finishing a marathon in a stadium. In Athens it is made more special because this one was built for the first modern Olympics in 1896 - and there has been a stadium on the site since 330BC.

The Panathinaikon Stadium marks the end of a historic run from the ancient city of Marathon to Athens, following the route of the legendary foot soldier who ran the distance to spread a message of victory in battle against the Persians.

Next year Athens will celebrate the 2500th anniversary of that first incredible run.

Blackmores Sydney Running Festival

Running feet and chatting voices were the only sounds to be heard on Sydney Harbour Bridge as vehicles vanished for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival.

More than 30,000 participated in the run for everyone, tackling distances from marathon and half marathon down to 10km and 5km – all finishing in front of the iconic Sydney Opera House.

Sydney turned on some of its finest spring weather for the day and participants enjoyed the chance to run on traffic-free roads around the city’s glorious harbour and prettiest scenery.

There is something appealing about Sydney and the Running Festival provided a chance to see some of its best features at a pleasant pace on a perfect day.
