On 15 March 2026, the 17th annual Kalampaka-Trikala Half Marathon (Thanasis Stamopoulos) will take place, featuring a 21.1 km “21K Challenge” as the centerpiece, alongside a 5 km Road Race, a 5 km PWD (Persons With Disabilities) event, and a 1 km Kids’ Race. The course begins near the dramatic Meteora cliffs in Kalampaka and finishes in central Trikala, rewarding participants with striking natural and historical vistas. The half-marathon course is mostly downhill or flat, making it one of Greece’s faster half routes, while the shorter races encourage broader participation. Over the years, the event has grown in stature, attracting local and international runners who come to experience the combination of athletic challenge and the cultural beauty of Thessaly.
