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.

Greeks at the top of the table

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.

In total, three Greeks are in the top 10 and six in the top 20 of the official table. Alexandros Piperidis is 19th in 26:06:55.

Women in the official table

Despoina Simantrakou has the first women’s time, 24:45:43, and is 13th overall. Lemonia Panagiotou has the third women’s time in 26:58:04 and Georgia Manta is listed in 28:46:36.

In the retained official Tegea timing snapshot of 27 September 2026 at 19:12:13 EEST (UTC+03:00), Simantrakou appears 17th. That record is a point-in-time snapshot, not a progression of positions.

What the official archive says

Karykas’s official archive has one entry, 2026 in 23:17:55. The wording is limited to a first entry in that archive; it does not support a claim of first participation outside the archive.

The median of the 42 Greek finish times is 33:32:30. The median of all 276 finish times is 33:39:34 when rounded to the nearest second from 33:39:33.5.
