Day 3 of the Olympia Rally 2026 marked the Marathon stage, taking riders deeper into the heart of the challenge as the rally headed toward Kalamata. This demanding day was split into two stages, with a well-earned coffee break in Diavolitsi offering a brief moment to reset before tackling the second half of the journey.
The first stage passed through Makrisia, Krestena, Smerna, and Artemida, before climbing into the mountainous terrain of Mount Tetrazio. This section combined long distances with varied landscapes, requiring riders to manage pace, energy, and navigation carefully while adapting to constant changes in terrain.
After the break, Stage 2 led the competitors through Agia Theodora and continued parallel to the main road toward Kalamata. While faster in character, this part of the day still demanded concentration, especially after the accumulated fatigue of the Marathon stage. With no outside assistance allowed, riders relied on their preparation, discipline, and determination as they pushed through to the end of a challenging and memorable Day 3.
First to finish the stage was #52 Karampelas Kimon with YAMAHA TERENE 700, second fastest was #2 Sevastopoylos John with YAMAHA WR450F and third was #33 Kreidl Ferdinand with KTM EXC 450.
