5th Paros Way 2026 - Aquathlon

Paros Way is a mid-June sports weekend on Paros in the Cyclades, featuring running, swimming, and aquathlon races. The aquathlon is a short swim-run event: 750 meters in the water followed by a 5 km run. A relay option is available for teams who want to split the two legs. The race is based in Parikia, the main port town of Paros. The aquathlon is scheduled as a two-hour late-afternoon event, running under the auspices of the Municipality of Paros. This is the fifth consecutive edition of the wider Paros Way event. The organizers target athletes and recreational sports fans, with returning participants citing the island’s easy access and summer setting as draws. No refreshment stations are listed for the aquathlon, so racers should plan their own fluids around the start and finish.
