At the height of the Trocadero tram stop, turn right to reach the traffic lights on Poseidonos Avenue, and then turn left towards Agia Skepi. Turn completely left and run through the fields and Agios Georgios Park towards the Esplanade. There, turn right, then turn left midway and run on the rooftop of buildings of notable beauty and elegance, which also includes a path for the visually impaired. As far as we know, no similar route is incorporated into any comparable design in Greece or abroad.

Next: Once you reach the Esplanade, turn right towards Water Square and continue straight towards the tall columns. Just after passing them, turn left and run towards the SEF (Peace and Friendship Stadium). At the height of the Kallithea Nautical Marina, turn left, then left again towards Water Square and Agia Skepi. Turn completely right, staying in the right lane (towards the sea) towards the Trocadero tram stop. At the traffic light with the pedestrian bridge, turn right towards the Battleship "Averof" and then run or walk straight to enter the track of the Sports Center to finish.
