The Acropolis from the Marble Stadium (the starting point for the 10Km run)
 
Yourdanka pins on her  official Bib number 
& Fiery Tw*t sticks her adhesive-backed number to her kit (clothes storage) bag

Chaos as runners try to enter the stadium to store their kit bags while those that have 
already stored theirs try to exit the stadium for the start of the run.

Meanwhile other runners gather at the starting point

Doggie Style with Maximus Pooh and Spy Shagger at the stadium entrance
 
The runners lined up at the start & waiting for starting orders
 
And the front runners  are away!
(The hashers are some way behind this energetic lot) 

The brass band strikes-up in the stadium

Award ceremony for the winner of the "special" runners

The first 10Km runners arrive at the finish

The 10Km winner holds up his cup

The 10Km winner's award ceremony.
(None of our hashers will be seen here since hashing 
is participative but essentially non-competitive) 
 
Later, Mad Dog & Black Mamba appear (centre)
 
...And jog past the video screen (left)

Rear Entry - the third hasher back to the stadium (time : 53:08)

Stand-in RA Mad Dog opens the circle (just outside the stadium entrance)
 
The circle continues
 
Yordanka gets a down-down for coming in last

Offenses on trail: 
Mad Dog awards himself a DIO for using the loo at the 5 Km station.

We welcome two virgin hashers
After the circle........

The winners of the full 43Km Marathon - 
two Kenyan runners and in third place, an Ethiopian runner.

Waiting for more full Marathon runners to arrive.
 
They arrive one by one.
