The marathon starts adjacent to the 1912 Olympic Stadium and consists of two loops around the city, finishing with a three-quarter lap around the tracks of the Olympic Stadium.
Until and including the 2009 edition, the two loops around the city differed only slightly from each other, but the major part of the loops were identical.
However, from 2010 the route was changed somewhat to make the loops more different from each other.
Most notably, the first loop is now shorter, thus minimizing the number of trailing runners that the elite runners have to lap.
