Open to individuals aged 16 and above, the Night Run Vouliagmeni will offer a less demanding but equally enjoyable alternative to the legendary IRONMAN 70.3. Participants can choose to run or walk in a non-competitive atmosphere. For those looking to push their limits, the race will be timed, with prizes awarded to the top three men and women. All finishers will receive a medal for their efforts.

“This special route, which combines the wonderful colors of the sunset with the blue of the Athens Riviera, is truly unique. That is why the Vouliagmeni Night Run is an experience that remains indelible in the minds of those who have experienced it and who want to relive it every year,” said Zacharias Antoniadis, Race Director of this year’s IRONMAN 70.3 Vouliagmeni, Greece.
