About the Event

Join the legacy of the 20th Ioannina Lake Run, a landmark anniversary event taking place on September 19-20, 2026. More than a simple road race, this special edition celebrates two decades of athletic excellence around the serene waters of Lake Pamvotis. The weekend features a versatile range of certified courses, including the signature 30km Lake Loop, 10km and 5km road races, and 30km Power Walking, ensuring a challenge for every pace and ability level.

The 2026 anniversary transforms the historic city of Ioannina into a vibrant hub of activity, blending high-stakes competition with a deeply inclusive festival spirit. From elite marathoners chasing personal bests on the flat, fast asphalt to families and adaptive athletes participating in the 1,000m celebratory runs, the event captures the collective joy of the Epirus region. Parallel cultural events, local traditions, and the legendary lakeside atmosphere create a unique environment that resonates far beyond the finish line.

With a stable late-September climate averaging 21°C and a course certified by AIMS/World Athletics, the 20th Ioannina Lake Run is the definitive destination for runners seeking a prestigious, well-organized sporting experience in Greece. Secure your spot in this historic gathering where every kilometer is paved with 20 years of passion, community spirit, and international sporting tradition.
