The President of SDYH, Eleni Polychronaki, explained: “The new Board of Directors and I, as the president of the historic “Chania Health Runners Association”, are particularly happy to be organizing the Crete Marathon for the 9th time in 2025. This year we have started the preparation of the event earlier than any other time and we aspire to have a record participation of over 2,800 runners in all events. The newly renovated and attractive routes of the Crete Marathon are an ideal opportunity for athletes to set new records.
We invite all runners of all levels and ages to live the unique experience of Cretan hospitality and admire the enchanting sights of Chania on every route. We promise an unforgettable experience that all participants will want to relive by returning every year to our Chania”
