Hi we are coming to athens my brother and son are running this and I just wondered if there was different areas we could see them go past as when we watch london we can go to 4 different places and see them

hi Chrissy

               its  not easy to do what your suggesting ,there is a couple of places where u can get to on the tram I think , my other half went to the start line with me a couple of years ago but she had to get a taxi back to Athens from marathon which wasn't easy ,my advice would definitely just go straight to the amazing Olympic stadium for the finish and [hopefully ] sit in the sunshine and watch the runners come in [ sit on the left hand side of the stadium[as you look in ] for the best view which is where the runners come in

                                          cheers martin
