What it is
About 500 metres from the temple, along the road, is the stadium where the athletes of the Nemean Games ran. It dates from 330 BC and about 40,000 people fitted on the earth slopes. It preserves the stone starting line and, above all, the vaulted tunnel through which the athletes entered the track, one of the oldest to survive, with the names they scratched on the wall while waiting their turn.
For children
It is the place to let them run: the track is open and you can hold a race from the starting line.
