Crete Half Marathon
The International Crete Half Marathon takes place in Arkalochori, within the Heraklion region of Crete. ATHLISY serves as the organizing club. The primary event is a 21.1 km half marathon. Additionally, the event includes 10 km and 5 km road races, allowing participants to opt for a shorter distance. The event's scope extends beyond adult road races. It features a 1000 meter children's race and a 200 meter race for individuals with disabilities. The organizers emphasize fair play and inclusivity for all ages and fitness levels, connecting the race day with Cretan hospitality and local customs. With a decade of history, it stands as an established race weekend on the island, not merely a singular local run.
