The Racecourse of Atalanta was a ruined racetrack located southeast of Fort Samikon in the Forest of Soron in Arkadia, Greece.
It was dedicated to Atalanta, a princess of Arkadia who lived during the 6th century BCE, famous for declining to marry a man who couldn't beat her in a foot race.[1] During the Peloponnesian War the track was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra. In the course's northern parts, she found a bandit camp.[2]
