Testimonials:
A big part of coming back to Serres Circuit race is their upmost respect for the sport and athletes. This is one of the few races, where the organisers are going far and beyond to see the best for the athletes.
The course itself is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, road racecourses to break records. Therefore, I will be at the starting line for 2025 Serres Circuit ultra race.

The SerresCircuit Run is one of the races that I will always remember, both for the record it offered me and for the excellent organization that helped make it happen.
In a particularly favorable circular route of 3.3km, with gentle turns and soft asphalt ideal for the runner (both to develop speed and not to be too inconvenienced, compared to other similar terrain), with volunteers waiting for us throughout the race with a smile, eager and with adequate food and hydration, with particularly good treatment by the organisers towards the people who had come as support crew, it was a given that the experience I would have would be positive, enjoyable and unique.
It is a race that I recommend to all those who do or want to try the ultras, as they will get the best results on all levels.

Serres Circuit Run is one of the best organized races in which I have ever participated. I was in 24h race and won it with the result of 245 km despite very hot weather.
The route was perfectly flat and good for record attempts. The race has IAU label as well - that is top priority for me as I hold the Finnish national record and reaching to even better results.
I recommend this race both to experienced runners and beginners. Even if you don't have your own supporter, you will get everything you need from the organizer; drinks and food.
From my supporter's view, the facilities were very good as well; tents in case of rain or sunshine. The organizers had been very helpful and kind. My wife was supporting me the whole race with our 1-year-old son.
We would love to participate in Serres Circuit Run again. Maybe see you next year and hopefully not so hot weather this time!

I have participated in the Serres circuit 24 h run in march 2025.
The competition venue can be reached comfortably (plane to Thesaloniki + taxi/bus). I had opportunity to stay near the competition venue. I liked the track. Quite a long circle (a little more than 3 km), but you can see other participants, which supports. The first time I ran on soft asphalt. It is more comfortable to run, after the competition my legs hurt less than usual and recovered quickly. Organizers were friendly and supportive. All questions and problems that arose were immediately resolved. The current results are clearly visible on the screen, they are often mentioned. A friendly and pleasant atmosphere. This is a competition that you can visit again.Best regards,
Julia
