Different races existed in ancient Greece, most of them varied by distance, by one or more stadia (185 meters). While no records of specific rules exist, there were specific races for the stade, two-stade, and the diolicho, which went 20 or 24 stades long, which equates to about two and a half miles.

"… It is custom for athletes, their fathers and their brothers as well their trainers to swear on an oath upon slices of boar's flesh that is nothing will they sin against the Olympic Games. The athletes take this further oath also, that for ten successive months they have strictly followed the regulations for training. An oath is also taken by those who examine the boys or the fouls everything entering for races, that they will decide fairly and without taking bribes, and that they will keep secret what they learn about a candidate; whether accepted or not."

Only citizens of Greek city-states could participate.

King Philip of Macedonia wanted to enter in the chariot race, and to gain entry had to fake up an ancestry going back to Sparta hundreds of years before.
