Are you ready to participate in the biggest sports celebration of Athens?
The 5k races (Road Race, Universities Night Run and the Kids Race 1.2K) will take place on Saturday 7 November 2026 and the Marathon race as well as the 10k race on Saturday 8 November. Please have in mind that many roads around city center as well around Marathon area will be closed for cars during the day, so if you planned to take your car those days, think it again. Instead, it’s a better idea to walk or use public transport to reach Kallimarmaro and support the runners to participate in that celebration! It’s a really unique experience to live it if you are in Athens this weekend, even if you don’t participate running!
There are also parallel events these days in Athens influenced by Athens Marathon like Marathon Expo in Faliro.

Sunday 8/11: 10K Run
