Day 4 of the Olympia Rally has come to a thrilling close, marking the second and final part of the marathon stage. The riders embarked on a challenging route, starting from Xylokastro and making their way back to the bivouac, passing through Zemeno, Kylini, Mountain Ziria, Lake Stymfalia, Lake Doxa, Zarelia, Planitero, Kleitoria, the Ladonas River, the Erymanthos River, and Foloi Forest.
The grueling 280km marathon stage took its toll, forcing many riders to retire, reaffirming the Olympia Rally’s reputation as an exhilarating and formidable challenge.
