Στις 13 Σεπτεμβρίου το νησί της Αποκάλυψης γίνεται σημείο συνάντησης για τον αθλητισμό, τον πολιτισμό και την αυθεντική πατμιακή φιλοξενία

Patmos is getting ready to host another year of this special sporting event. PATMOS ChoRun 2026 returns on Sunday 13 September, inviting runners from Greece and abroad to discover the island through an experience that combines sport, culture and tradition.

The highlight of this year’s event is the 1st Patmos Half Marathon, covering 21 kilometres, starting at Panagia Geranou and finishing at Xanthos Square in Chora. Alongside this, participants can choose the 5,000-metre race, the Family Run and the 1,000-metre children’s race, as well as the power walking event.

The event, organised by the Patmos Athletic Club ‘STADION’, the Municipality of Patmos and the South Aegean Region, also has some exciting surprises in store. In collaboration with SAUCONY, participants in the Half Marathon will be entered into a prize draw for two pairs of running shoes, whilst the top finishers in the 21km and 5km races will receive technical T-shirts.

The festivities get underway on Saturday 12 September with the Pasta Party and the Patmos Municipality Fishermen’s Festival, an open-air evening featuring seafood delicacies, traditional music and an island-style celebration.

After the races, Patmos’s warm hospitality will provide the perfect conclusion to the event, with a reception featuring traditional local produce at the Town Hall.

Runners will also be entitled to a 50 per cent discount on ferry tickets and special rates on accommodation at partner establishments.
