Live out your athlete dreams without the intense training schedule. This active experience brings you into venues linked to both the ancient Greek athletic festivals and the 1896 revival of the international summer games.

Start your day at the striking neoclassical Zappeion and learn how competitors trained in antiquity, alongside insights into 19th-century sporting traditions. Then put theory into practice with friendly challenges including long jump, javelin, shot put and discus.

Finally, step onto the track at the Panathenaic Stadium - the marble arena that hosted the 1896 revival of the modern international games - and run like a champion. Don't worry about personal bests, it's the taking part - not the finish line - that counts.
