The organiser confirms the one-mile starts inside the Port of Thessaloniki at 17:00 and the 5 km there at 17:10. The 10 km starts on 26th October Street near the Central Macedonia Region at 18:40; the half marathon starts there at 19:30. Every distance finishes at Aristotelous Square.
The 2026 edition has ended. Its routes, times and registration details are an archived record, not a guide to the next edition; Salonica will refresh this page only when the organiser publishes official dates.
Choose a base for your race distance
For the 10 km or half marathon, consider how you will reach the start on 26th October Street and return from Aristotelous after the finish. For the one-mile or 5 km, plan separately for the Port start. The central waterfront can make the common finish easier to reach.
Ladadika is near the port and central finish but can be lively late on Saturday; ask about street noise. Ano Poli means an uphill return after the race, so plan transport or choose a lower base.
Arrival and the late return
Use the airport guide for your arrival and check the current service to your exact address. With a car, confirm parking with the property and allow for race-day restrictions near the course.
Plan the return from Aristotelous before booking a fixed dinner time. Check current transport diversions and ask the organiser about access arrangements for your race.
Meals, companions and booking order
Eat before the race near your base and arrange the post-race meal near the finish. Companions can agree a meeting point around Aristotelous after the event.
Confirm race entry first, then compare areas and accommodation for the nights you need. Check cancellation terms and late-arrival arrangements directly with the property.
