The Gravel of Marathon

On Sunday, November 15, 2026, in the historic town of Marathon — the place where the famous Battle of Marathon was fought around 2.500 years ago — cyclists from around the world will have the chance to experience an unforgettable gravel adventure, “The Gravel of Marathon,” for the very first time in Greece.

This will be the first UCI Gravel World Series race to take place in the country, following the great success of the “Megalopolis Gravel Classic” in Arcadia and the “Amarantos Gravel Experience” in the Agrafa mountains of Thessaly. It is organized by the MBike team, the leading cycling media platform in Greece and the organizer of the Athens Bike Festival since 2010.
