Final answer:

To find out how far you traveled during the Spartathlon, multiply the average velocity (6.8 km/hr) by the time (36 hours) which results in a total distance of 244.8 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ran the Spartathlon in a time of 36 hours with an average velocity of 6.8 km/hr, the total distance traveled can be calculated using the formula for distance, which is the product of time and velocity. The formula is:

Distance = Velocity × Time

Plugging in the values gives:

Distance = 6.8 km/hr × 36 hr

Distance = 244.8 km

Therefore, you traveled a total distance of 244.8 kilometers.
