The Democritus Half Marathon Xanthi returns for its 12th edition on 29 November 2026, with every race starting and finishing at Xanthi Central Square. The 21.098K half marathon sets off at 10:30 and follows a circular road route that works through the city streets and out along the ring road before returning to the square, all under a 2.5 hour time limit. The 5K City Race follows at 10:35 and stays entirely within the urban area, while three 1K races, for children, mothers with strollers and athletes with disabilities, run from 13:00. Xanthi Runners and A.P.S. Diomidis Xanthi organise the event together with the municipalities of Xanthi and Avdira and the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, which gives the day a strong local, community feel.
