Sparta City Ultra - 6h
We hold no course length for this race — a timed or backyard event is measured by the clock, not the kilometre — so there is no Grit score to give you.
What the course asks
DUV results for the 2026 edition (6h) — ranked runners only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
Typical conditions, February
Regional 2001-2025 average for February — NASA POWER, grid elevation 551 m. Not a forecast.

Course Notes
From the statue of King Leonidas, you go down for 400m on the main Avenue of Sparta Konstantinos Paleologos (both sides are closed, car traffic don't take place), and then you go up to the statue for 400m. So a loop is 822m long. Mit Restmetervermess
