Athletic running events in Greece

Overview

Athletic running events have taken place across various regions in Greece. In Patras, the second annual Nikos Argyropoulos Coastal Road race was held in the Vrachneika area, attracting approximately 700 participants across multiple distances, including races for children and individuals with special needs.

Following this, the Run Greece race in Trikala reported record-breaking participation. The event featured competitive long-distance races, including a women’s 10km race where Nikoleta Rafailaki set a new course record, and a men’s 10km race. The Trikala event also included Kids Athletics programs to promote youth involvement in the sport.

The Run Greece series continued in Alexandroupoli, where windy conditions and temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius did not prevent several new course records in the 5km and 10km categories. In the 10km race, Dimitris Tsakalos finished first in 31:40, while Nancy Kokkorou won the women’s division in 35:46. The 5km race was won by Alexandros Nako in 15:19 for the men and Nikoleta Rafailaki in 17:12 for the women. The event included a Family Run and a social initiative where “one euro from each registration fee was donated to the NGO Xenios o Zeus.”

The series concluded in Piraeus with a high-level racing event. In the women’s 10km race, Nikoleta Rafailaki secured her fourth victory in the series with a time of 35:08. Alkiviadis Psychos won the men’s 10km in 32:08. For the 5km distance, Ioianna Roussou won the women’s race in 17:07, while Orfeas Ioannou claimed victory in the men’s race with a time of 15:15.
