The dolichos (dolikhos) was an ancient Greek footrace held at three of the four Panhellenic festivals; the ancient Olympic Games, Pythian Games, and Nemean Games. It was a distance race of 18-24 laps on the stadion track. This was the longest footrace to hold a prominent place within Greek athletic festivals.
