ABOUT

Every spring, Arkalochori hosts the ‘CHROMA RUN’, a lively sports event held at the local exhibition centre.

Organised by the Health Sports Association of Arkalochori, with support from the Region of Crete and the Municipality of Minoa, Pediada, this event is not to be missed.

According to the club, it's more than just a race—it's a non-competitive event filled with games, music, and vibrant splashes of colour. Participants can choose to run, walk, or even dance their way through the course!

After completing these unforgettable colourful kilometres, athletes can unwind and enjoy a fantastic musical event.
