We did it! On the 9th of December we ran from Marathon to the Acropolis along the route of the first ever marathon in 490BC!
Here is a quick extract from the SpecialEffect website!
"All the locals who asked about our run thought we were barking mad when we told them which route we were taking," said Nick Moglia. "The course was gruelling, with a nine-mile constant climb from sea level to 2,400 ft, but the weather was kind, at least to the end of the run where we were greeted by heavy rain."
"Unlike the original Greek messenger, we all survived and we all successfully completed the run. The only unforeseen incident was when Andy received rather a nasty dog bite after just one mile! We've been overwhelmed by both the messages of support, and the generous donations that we have received on behalf of SpecialEffect."
