Armoured runners?
#3
Yes, you can find information about the hoplitou dromos (ὂπλίτου δρόμος "run of a fully-armed man") in most books on Greek sport. I think that it was a short race.

If you can do an endurance run in full kit you will win much kleos!
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
