Kallithea Half Marathon 2026

The Kallithea Half Marathon begins and ends at Water Plaza in Kallithea, situated close to the Athens coast. This autumn running event, organized by the Philathletic Club of Kallithea and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, includes a half marathon, a 10 km race, and a 5 km race. The routes are certified by AIMS International and World Athletics, a detail important for runners focused on precise distances. The course winds around the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Water Plaza, and the Kallithea Esplanade, providing participants with a race that combines city and seafront views, distinct from a closed stadium setting. Many runners use this event as a final preparation before the Authentic Marathon of Athens. The race also benefits from local institutional support from Kallithea, the Attica Region, Greek sport organizations, and SEGAS, with a portion of the proceeds directed to charity.
