Transcript

I'm here in Athens and I'm about to run a mile in the oldest stadium in the world. The stadium was actually rebuilt in the 1800s for the first ever Olympic games here in Athens and it's made entirely of marble, which is pretty crazy. It opens up every day from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. where you can actually run on it like this and honestly, nobody's here. If you're a runner, you have to add this to your bucket list for Athens. Plus, you'll get a pretty cool Strava post like this.
