Axios Running Festival

The Axios Running Festival is a growing force on the Greek endurance calendar, offering a multifaceted weekend. Held in the Chalkidona municipality of Central Macedonia—home to 18 villages and the scenic Axios River—the festival includes races for all ages and abilities, with certified routes following World Athletics standards. What sets this event apart is its rich cultural program: participants enjoy local traditions, artistic performances, and environmental activities that give the race a unique regional identity. Live music, volunteer-powered hospitality, and strong community spirit add to the atmosphere.
