Patras Half Marathon

Patras Half Marathon is a major road race held in Patras, Greece, offering runners a flat, city-based course in one of western Greece’s most important urban centers. What makes the event stand out is its mix of accessibility and scale: the half marathon is the headline race, but the broader program also includes a 10 km race, a 5 km race, and a 1 km children’s event, helping turn the day into a full community running festival. Centered around King George I Square, the race gives participants a chance to experience Patras through a course that emphasizes the city’s energy, seafront setting, and broad public support. With growing international visibility and a structured race program that welcomes both serious runners and casual participants, Patras Half Marathon has developed into one of Greece’s more notable spring distance-running events.
