On 1 March 2026, Katerini Run 2026 turns the centre of Katerini into a spring running festival with three distances designed for all ages and abilities. The headline 21 km race follows an out-and-back style road route on smooth asphalt, using broad urban avenues and gentle terrain that makes it accessible for both first-time half-distance runners and those chasing a strong time. Alongside it, the 5 km health and dynamic walking event provides a shorter option for recreational runners and walkers who want to be part of the day without tackling the full distance. The 1,000 m kids’ race loops around the central streets, giving younger runners their own finish-line experience in front of family and friends. With its flat profile, city-centre start/finish and strong local support, Katerini Run is a friendly, community-focused way to open the Greek road-running season.
