Organized by the Athletes Club of Serres and supported by the KRI-KRI association, this event aims to bring runners from all over Greece and beyond for a race that blends local authenticity with international standards. The race starts and finishes on Kroniou Square, featuring certified IAAF/AIMS courses ensuring top-quality competition. Participants will experience a socially impactful day as every registration fee contributes €1 towards the Serres Therapeutic Riding Center (K.E.T.H.I.S.), supporting the community's well-being initiatives.

This race takes runners through New Souli and Oinoussa villages, rewarding top male and female finishers with cash prizes. - For those looking for a shorter yet intense experience, the KRI-KRI MASTER Run (10 km) begins simultaneously at 9:15 AM alongside the half marathon course. - Families are invited to join in on the fun with the KRI-KRI RODEO Run (5 km), starting at 11:00 AM. This is an open race for all ages over 12 years old. - The day concludes with a kids' event, featuring runs of 500 meters and 1,000 meters designed specifically for younger participants.
