An introductory long-distance mountain trail race with 1,300 m of positive elevation gain.<\/p>\n
From Start to 5.5 km<\/strong><\/p>\n The race will start at 8:30 AM, and the first 1.2 km follow a paved\/asphalt road until the entrance to the trail at Imerolia.<\/p>\n For the next 4 km, the course enters an uphill forest trail with several technical sections (rocky in some parts), reaching the Loutses Cave (Grava), where the first aid station is located (water and Coca-Cola only).<\/p>\n From 5.5 km to 10.5 km<\/strong><\/p>\n Descending inside the cave requires caution due to increased humidity and slipperiness. The uphill continues for another 1.5 km up to Metagona Peak, offering spectacular views. A short technical descent of 1 km follows, then 2.5 km of dirt road with a gentle incline toward the village of Meggoulas, where the main aid station is located.<\/p>\n From 10.5 km to 17 km From the 10.5th to the 17th km (at Agios Stefanos, 3rd main aid station), the course consists of a downhill forest trail with moderate technical difficulty.<\/p>\n From 17 km to 21 km (Erimitis) From the 17th to the 21st km, the route continues on the coastal Erimitis trail, runnable and smooth, with no major elevation changes.<\/p>\n From 21 km to Finish Line<\/strong><\/p>\n The final 4 km are relatively easy, with a short but steep 500 m uphill section just before the finish line.<\/p>\n The course is densely marked using bright orange signs. At every junction, there will be either a sign or a volunteer indicating the direction. Please note that the finish area will not be accessible via the village’s main entrance for safety reasons. Instead, you will approach from the eastern side of the port, just like in last year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n We remind you to arrive early at the starting area, as vehicle access to the port will be restricted on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n The weather on race day is expected to be very good and quite warm, so make sure you stay properly hydrated throughout the course.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Cave \u2013 5.5 km<\/strong>: Water & Coca-Cola (Support Station)<\/em><\/p>\n 2.
