Athens Santa Run 2025

Put on your Santa hat and join the festive fun in the heart of Athens! The City of Athens and Greece’s largest running club, the Offline Running Association, invite young and old runners of all levels to the Athens Santa Run 2025, this season’s most joyful mix of Christmas spirit and exercise.

Kick off at 10 am from Athens City Hall and follow the 2.8 km route through the city centre. Run past Athinas Street with stunning Acropolis views, continue along Ermou Street, turn at Agion Asomaton, head down Peiraios Street to Omonoia Square, and finish back at City Hall. It’s all for a good cause, supporting the City of Athens Reception and Solidarity Center (KYADA), helping those facing poverty and social exclusion. Part of the proceeds also fund sports equipment for the City of Athens’ Culture, Sports & Youth Organisation.

Registration is now open for the Athens Santa Run 2025. There are 1,000 spots available for adults, while 300 children can take part free of charge. Secure your place and join the festive fun by registering here.
