Skiathos Trail Run 2026 - Kids Running 1000m (Elementary School Grades 4-6)

The Skiathos Trail Run takes place in May on Skiathos, a Greek island in the Sporades. The main event is 24 km, beginning at Bourtzi, with a five-hour time limit. This marks the 14th edition of the race, which organizers also call “On the paths of Papadiamantis,” referencing Alexandros Papadiamantis, the writer most associated with Skiathos. The details suggest a straightforward island trail race, not a fully supported road event. The 24 km race does not list any refreshment stations, requiring participants to manage their own hydration and nutrition. The program also features a free 1 km children’s race for elementary school pupils in grades 4-6. This race starts and ends at Bourtzi, following the old port of Skiathos Town. While the children’s race is untimed, all finishers receive a medal, and the top three boys and girls are awarded trophies.
