Roque Gázquez traveled to Greece to participate in the legendary Athens Marathon, the test started from the city of Marathon and ended up in the capital city after running 42,195 km up and down hills.
Legend has it that the soldier Philippi had to run tirelessly from Marathon to Athens, within a maximum period of one day to announce the victory of the Greek army over the Persians.
The test began at 9 am and more than 35,000 people from more than 100 countries participated.
Our partner Roque did half of the test at a good pace, if inconvenience, but from kilometer 20 he began to suffer discomfort that forced him to retire at 26, with 16 km to finish.
Also the same day, Gonzalo Ãlvarez participated in the VIII Half Marathon of "Ciudad de Mojácar".
In the absence of official classifications, to say that our partner made a great test despite the fact that it was especially complicated by the strong gusts of coastal wind that were present during the 21 km of the race.
