About the event

Unleash your competitive spirit and join fellow athletes at the celebrated Navarino Challenge in Costa Navarino & Pylos. Recognized as Europe's "Best in Wellness" event, this sports celebration aims to unite athletes of all ages and abilities under the empowering message, "Sports Unites People." Immerse yourself in an experience that not only highlights the benefits of physical activity but also raises awareness of the Messinian diet, promoting a healthier lifestyle and combating childhood obesity.Participation options include the Greek Half Marathon (21.1km), 10km, and 5km routes, accommodating both runners and power walkers. Starting at the stunning Navarino Dunes, you'll journey along a breathtaking coastal route to Pylos, crossing the iconic Voidokilia beach. Experience the thrill of retracing the historic trail once taken by Telemachus, son of Ulysses, in search of his father. The Greek Half Marathon stands as the only trail run that uniquely combines soil, sand, and asphalt, while the 10km and 5km routes blend soil and asphalt.

For younger athletes, the Active Kids initiative offers exciting activities, including a children's 1km run and an inclusive 1km Run For All. Embrace the challenge, savor the scenery, and be part of a movement where sportsmanship and wellness meet.
