The Spetses Marathon is a very special race, held every October in the, already free from cars, streets of Spetses. This is why participants compete in an ideal environment for running, having as background one of the most beautiful destinations in Greece. The organization began in 2011 and was immediately embraced by a massive number of people in Greece and abroad. Within a highly athletic weekend, two main events take place: the island's round in a 25 km distance and a 5 km race in the city. Moreover, a swimming race is organized in the sea and a kid's race.

Initially, the whole event was the initiative of "Poseidonion Grand Hotel" and it was immediately embraced by the entire island and visitors. Now it is organized under the auspices of the Municipality of Spetses. So this how Spetses Marathon evolved..from a great idea to a favorite habit.
