Spartathlon 2026: 42 Greek finish times
Of the 61 Greek athletes who reached at least one checkpoint after Start, 42 have a finish time in the official Spartathlon 2026 table.
What the total measures
Official 2026 timing data show 276 finish times among 380 athletes with at least one recorded post-Start passage (72.6%). The 380 are not presented as an official starter count.
Within that same group, 61 Greek athletes have a recorded post-Start passage and 42 have a finish time. These data do not infer DNS or DNF totals.

Fotis Zisimopoulos is listed second in 20:32:41. Georgios Logothetis is fifth in 22:24:41 and Alexandros Karykas seventh in 23:17:55. Aggelos Ziakas has the 11th time in 23:47:43.
