Entries are open for the Mykonos Half Marathon, so grab those running shoes and enter this annual marathon over 21,1 km. Or, join the 10 km route or 5 km Fun Run.

The combination of a scenic route along the West Coast, relatively flat terrain and a welcoming atmosphere makes this Club Mykonos Multisport event very popular, taking place this year on Saturday 25 July.

There will be plenty of food stalls and entertainment to keep everyone busy. The 21,1 km and 10 km races starts at 08:00, and the 5 km Fun Run starts at 08:10. All three events are suitable for walking, and the Fun Run route is safe and suitable for children to participate.
