Scott Jurek is the winner of Spartathlon for the second time.

Scott Jurek did it again, finishing first in 23:12:14. Although after Sangas he was part of the leading group, which included former winners like Valmir Nunes, Marcus Thalman and Jens Lucas, he managed to take the lead after Tegea increasing his distance from the 2nd runner in every check point.

Scott Jurek from U.S.A. now holds the 5th fastest time from last year and the 7th from this years race. (Note: By mistake we wrote that Scott had the 6th best time, which actually belongs to Patrick Macke, 23:08 )

Piotr Kurylo from Poland finished second in 24:29:41, followed by Valmir Nunes 3rd in 25:37:40.
