In the footsteps of Pheidippides (Greece)
This route is all about history, and is following the steps of the 490 BC Battle of Marathon. The most important battle in the whole history. (Yes; there are no records - or reason to belive - that Pheidippides started in Marathon, but this additional section is added to connect more to the history. It was when they, the Athenians got news about ships coming in - that they send out the messenger Pheidippides from Athen to Sparta to ask for help.)
