Tinos Running Experience 2026
Running a Half Marathon in the Cyclades
The classic race οn Tinos island is back for the 11th time and registrations are open!
Every early summer, runners from all over Greece, as well as abroad, gather in Tinos for the half marathon or the alternative shorter routes.
If you’re thinking about joining the race and experiencing one of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades, keep reading for helpful information about the event, discounts on ferry tickets and a bonus discount for your stay.
Why Run a Half Marathon in the Cyclades
Running a half marathon (or a shorter race) in the Cyclades makes your visit there much more meaningful. You’re on vacation, but there is also a purpose.
You get to experience the location in a deeper way, become part of a local community and possibly create unforgettable memories from your stay.
Plus, big city races are fine – but isn’t it nicer to run by the sea instead of concrete buildings? Or to pass through a Cycladic village instead of jogging on a highway?
If that sounds appealing, then the Tinos Running Experience might be exactly the kind of race you’re looking for.
