Once again our island will become the centre of the sporting world in the three day Spetses mini Marathon, which will take place between 6-8 October 2017. The Poseidonion Grand Hotel, institutional body of the event, is always thrilled to give its full support to what has now become one of the most significant athletic events in Greece.

For the 7th consecutive year, 7000 participants from all walks of life will come together on the island to enjoy the challenges of land and sea, spurred on by over 12,000 visitors and spectators. From the 500 m kids run to the 25 km half marathon around the island, visitors and runners will have the opportunity to celebrate athletics amidst the scenic beauty of Spetses.

The Kosta-Spetses swimming challenges will once again prove to be a very popular spectacle, as swimmers compete in the exciting cross-channel race. The second SUP event will also take place this year, following its warm reception in the previous Spetses mini Marathon.

It is an honour for us to be part of this significant sporting initiative in our role as initiatory body and to help promote both wellness and hospitality on Spetses. We would also like to wish all of the athletes the best of luck in their endeavours!
