T he IG Cycling Posidonia Tour 2026 returns as the official cycling event of Posidonia, blending sport, sustainability, networking and social impact along one of Greece’s most iconic coastal routes.
The IG Cycling Posidonia Tour 2026 is set to once again bring together the worlds of shipping, sport and sustainability, offering a cycling experience that goes far beyond competition. As the Official Cycling Event of the Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition, the Tour has established itself as a landmark initiative that connects physical challenge with environmental awareness, philanthropy and meaningful networking.
Scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 2026, the race invites participants to test their endurance on a carefully designed route that highlights both the urban heart of Athens and the timeless beauty of the Attica coastline.
A route that tells a story
The race starts at Syntagma Square, one of Athens’ most recognisable landmarks, which will also host the event’s Expo area. From there, cyclists follow a 68-kilometre coastal route, combining open-road riding with sweeping sea views, before reaching the finish line at Cape Sounio, beneath the Temple of Poseidon.
The setting alone makes the Posidonia Tour a standout event, offering a rare opportunity to ride through landscapes where history, sea and modern Greece intersect.
Who can take part
The event is open to Posidonia participants, professional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts, creating a diverse peloton that reflects the international character of the shipping and maritime community. Whether riding for performance, personal challenge or connection, participants share a common goal: pushing limits while riding with purpose.
Sustainability at its core
More than a race, the IG Cycling Posidonia Tour is built around a strong sustainability commitment. The organisers have placed environmental responsibility at the centre of every edition, with a clear promise of zero single-use plastic across race operations and participant kits.
Beyond that, the Tour supports coastal and underwater clean-up initiatives, transforming awareness into measurable action and reinforcing the event’s connection to the sea.
Riding for a cause
The philanthropic dimension remains a defining element of the Posidonia Tour. Funds raised through the event support Together for Children, which assists children in Greece, and The Mission to Seafarers, an organisation providing care and support to seafarers worldwide.
By combining athletic effort with social impact, the IG Cycling Posidonia Tour 2026 continues to set a benchmark for purpose-driven sporting events within the maritime industry.
