Athens welcomes the world! Welcome to the 17th International Poseidon Athens Half Marathon, your race, the race of your heart.

Two days before the big event, the Athenian Riviera begins to find its own unique rhythm and that rhythm is you.

From 67 countries and 90 nationalities, you bring with you energy, expectations, and a shared love for running. And it is this energy that transforms a race into a lifetime experience.

On Sunday, April 26, you won’t simply run a course.
You will live the moment!

With the Attica sun above you, the breeze of the Saronic Gulf beside you, and people from all over the world around you, every step will have meaning. Every smile, every breath, every cheer will carry you forward.

For those returning, thank you for trusting us once again.
For those joining us for the first time, welcome to something we hope will become your new tradition.

Don’t think only about the time.
Live the course.
Feel the energy.
Enjoy every moment!

And when you reach the finish line, remember:

The medal is not given.
It is earned.

It is not just a keepsake.
It is proof that you made it.
That you pushed beyond your limits.
That you were here.

We welcome you with joy and anticipation.

Good luck to all, and above all, run, smile, and enjoy it!
