Rhodes Marathon 2027

A fast course with breathtaking views! The Rhodes Marathon (TUI Rhodes Marathon) is one of the most scenic races on the Greek islands. The flat route runs right along the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the Mandraki Harbour, and the monumental medieval walls of Rhodes Old Town. Distances to choose from include: marathon (42 km), half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, and kids’ races 🏃☀️.

After crossing the finish line, Rhodes offers the perfect island getaway! Get lost in Rhodes Old Town (UNESCO) – stroll along the atmospheric Street of the Knights and visit the mighty Palace of the Grand Master 🏰. Head to the Mandraki harbour, where legend says the famous Colossus of Rhodes once stood, or visit the Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) 🦋. Then set off for the postcard-perfect town of Lindos with its whitewashed houses, the charming St. Paul’s Bay, and an ancient acropolis atop the rock 🏛️.

To end the day, try grilled octopus, traditional moussaka, and the local treat Melekouni (a crunchy honey-and-sesame bar), washing it down with Greek wine at sunset🐙🍷.
