A Legacy to Remember

In Greece, the Spetses marathon is one  of the favourite multi-sport event by the country since its initiation in 2011.

Incumbents have the choice of participating in running events of 5 km, 10 km, and an island 25 km marathon. Swimming races of 1.5 km and 3 km are also available to swimming fans in the pristine waters of Spetses island.
