The event combines sustained physical effort with historical context and is delivered as a fully supported, staged march across mainland Greece.
The event typically takes place in September 11-21 and has a total duration of nine days, including daily marching stages and overnight stops along the route. Participants cover an overall distance of approximately 400 kilometers, divided into long daily stages over mixed terrain, including paved roads, rural tracks, and mountainous sections.
