Welcome to Thessaloniki Marathon!

The ALEXANDER THE GREAT International Marathon proved itself worthy of the high expectations, as the biggest sporting event in Northern Greece.

A total of 16.800 runners, aged 9-85 years, flooded the streets of Thessaloniki and Macedonia, lived a unique experience, won the applause of many fans and sent a message of fitness and health, through an event that has also social, cultural, environmental, touristic and historic character. An event that since 2006 is “joining” Pella with Thessaloniki and displays throughout the world the name of Alexander the Great.

The International Marathon “ALEXANDER the GREAT” connects the past with the present, crossing within 42 km over 2.500 years of Macedonian history and Hellenism.

The International Marathon is member of the International Marathons Association (AIMS) and it is included in the official and annual calendar.
