Koiliaris Run 2026: Running with the Koiliaris in Apokoronas

Four races from Stylos through the Koiliaris villages: 13.6 km, 8.8 km, a 2.5 km run or walk and a 700 m kids' race. Sun 15 Nov, 10:45.

The Koiliaris Run is Apokoronas's own autumn race, put on by the Apokoronas athletic club and the municipality with the village associations of Armeni, Kalyves, Nio Chorio and Stylos. Everything starts and finishes in Stylos, in front of the village's main church: the 13.6 km race sets off at 10:45 through Nio Chorio, Armeni and Kalyves, the 8.8 km at 11:15, a 2.5 km run-or-walk for schoolchildren and adults at 12:15 from Platanakia, and a 700 m children's race at 13:15. The longer routes leave the tarmac for dirt tracks past the hydrometric station and over the little bridge to Platanakia, so trail shoes are no bad idea. Online entries close on Thursday 5 November at koiliarisrun.gr; the fee is €10 for adults and €5 for children, free for people with disabilities, and there is a free bus from Chania and from the Kalyves junction. Prizes are handed out in the Stylos square after each race.
