TECHNICAL BRIEFING
The Technical briefing will be held live on the Dromeis Evias Athletic Association YouTube channel. In addition, final instructions will be given in person on April 23, 2027 at 18:00 in Kymi.
MEALS
The established Pasta Party will take place on Friday, April 23 2027 at 19:00 in Kymi.
BIB NUMBER / TIMING CHIP
The timing chip is attached to the laces at the front of your shoe. It will not work anywhere else (e.g. in a pocket or backpack). Wear your bib on the front of your body where volunteers and race officials can see it at all times. If an athlete is not carrying their bib and their time is not recorded because the chip was attached incorrectly, their result will be considered invalid.
START TIME
The start of the Evia Ultra Trail race will be at 05:00 on Saturday, April 24, 2027.
ALTERNATE ROUTE
If weather conditions do not allow safe passage through the Skoteini section, an alternative route will be used.
The alternative route bypasses Skoteini and runs from Lake Setta to Plakes on dirt roads.
⚠️ Important note:
This section will not be marked, so athletes must be especially careful and follow the GPX track of the alternative route closely. The final decision on which route will be used (standard or alternative) will be announced either before the start or during the race, if conditions require it.
📍 The GPX file of the alternative route is available on the event website here (GPX section).
👉 All participants must have both GPX tracks (standard and alternative route) loaded on their watch or device.
RACE INTERRUPTION
The race can only be interrupted in case of extreme weather conditions (strong and long-lasting storms). If this happens during the race, the organization will take care to inform the participants in every possible way. Then the participants will be transported to the start/finish area of the race.

CHECK OF MANDATORY EQUIPMENT
A mandatory equipment check will be carried out on all athletes at the following points:
- at the race office when collecting bibs
- before the start of the race
- at the Steni central aid station.
Athletes missing mandatory equipment are disqualified and must hand in their bib immediately, or receive a time penalty.
ORGANIZER PHONE NUMBERS
The organizer phone numbers are already active: +30 694 691 8465, +30 698 711 2069, +30 694 947 2442. They are available to athletes who face any kind of problem during the race. These numbers are for emergencies only. Relatives are asked not to call them to ask about an athlete; please use the live tracking instead.
USE OF POLES
Poles are allowed from the start. As they are not mandatory equipment, nobody checks whether you carry them the whole way or leave them somewhere to collect later.
MARKING
The main markers are orange and red paint on trees and rocks. In addition, yellow-and-black tape hangs mainly from tree branches at critical sections and junctions, and there are small plastic signs, boards and white arrows on the asphalt. If you have not seen any of these for at least 500 metres, you have probably lost the route and should go back to the last marker.
LITTER
Respect the mountain: carry your litter with you and never throw it on the trail. Anyone caught littering will be banned from the event permanently.
PENALTIES
An athlete is disqualified for:
– missing a checkpoint
– not carrying the mandatory equipment
– littering on the route
MEDICAL TRANSPORT
In case of injury, transport to Steni or to a hospital is carried out by the responsible services, always at the injured athlete’s own expense. The organizer is not a public service and does not cover costs that are not its responsibility.
