Trikala Half Marathon is a spring road running event in Thessaly, Greece, with the 2027 edition scheduled for Sunday 21 March. The headline race links the towns of Kalambaka and Trikala over 21.1 km, and in 2026 that course was AIMS-certified at 21.097 km and ran slightly downhill between the two cities. The programme also includes a 5 km road race and a 2.5 km race for people with disabilities, so the day welcomes club racers chasing a personal best and newcomers alike. The event is organised by Trikala Running Club under the aegis of the Region of Thessaly, and entries, start times and route confirmations are published by the organiser as race day approaches.

The announced programme has three races on the same day: a 21.1 km half marathon, a 5 km road race, and a 2.5 km race for people with disabilities. That means there is a distance for experienced club runners as well as for newer runners and participants with additional needs.
The route is a road course that ran slightly downhill between Kalambaka and Trikala in the 2026 edition. There are no technical sections or trail surfaces, so it suits runners looking for a steady, runnable course. Elevation figures for the 2027 route are confirmed by the organiser.

Late March in Thessaly is mild and changeable, with cool mornings that warm up through the day and a real chance of rain. Layering is sensible, and it is worth checking a short-range forecast in the final days before the race so you can plan your kit.
