Thessaloniki's Night Half MarathonAs the date approaches for Thessaloniki’s 4th International Night Half-Marathon, organizers at a press conference on Wednesday said they expected a record of 21,000 people to take part in the two races taking place in the city on Saturday night.
The Half-Marathon covering 21.1 kilometres will begin at 6:45 pm, with 4,500 registered runners from five continents and 53 countries taking part. Because of the large number of athletes participating, there will be two start times.
The half-marathon will be followed by a five-kilometre “Health Walk” at 9:15 pm, with five starts, in which 16,000 will take part.
Olympic medallist Voula Patoulidou, now a Thessaloniki deputy regional governor and head of the race organizing committee, announced that an additional 2,000 places will be made available for last-minute registrations on Friday at a pavilion at the Thessaloniki International Fair exhibition centre from 10:00 am until 7 pm. Those already registered can also pick up their marathon gear
