The greek freaks #greekfreak

According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia. They continued for nearly 12 centuries until the Emperor Theodosius decreed in 393 A.D. that all such pagan cults be banned.But during those times one of their biggest games was the Pentathlon: Where they did Running / Jumping / Discus Throw.
Running contests included:the stade race, which was the  test of speed, covering the Olympic track from one end to the other the 200m foot race and the 400m foot race.

If you were in the olympics back then what race would you run?
