Races in Greece

Greece's running calendar stretches from legendary marathons tracing ancient routes to demanding mountain trails across the Peloponnese, Olympus, and island terrain. Road races wind through historic cities like Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras, while trail events explore the forests of Mount Kakavos, the ridges of Corfu, and coastal paths around Messinia and the Aegean islands. October brings cooler temperatures ideal for racing, with events ranging from accessible village runs to technical ultras gaining thousands of metres through Mediterranean wilderness.
