The routes are described in detail on the event’s official website, on the race information page.
The race will have the following cutoff points (“gates”):
| CP | Information |
|---|---|
| Vitalo | bib collected at Kryfi Panagia is handed in here |
| Vitalo | 6 hours from race start |
| Steni | 15 hours from race start |
| Kymi (Finish) | 26 hours from race start |
The time limit applies to all athlete categories, regardless of gender or age. Athletes who withdraw from the race for personal reasons or arrive at the Steni aid station after the cut-off time must stop and hand over their race number to the station supervisor.
Organizers will provide transport from race aid stations to the finish line for athletes who withdraw or are disqualified. In all other cases, the organizers bear no responsibility for the road or other transport of athletes who withdraw; however, they will make an effort to assist them, without any formal obligation to do so. Athletes withdrawing at Setta, Andronianoi, Thapsa, Vitalo, or Steni will be transported to Kymi. At the 13km mark of the race, runners reach Kryfi Panagia. Here, runners’ numbers will be placed inside a box. Runners must retrieve their race number (BIB) from the small chapel before continuing. This number must be handed over at the next aid station at Vitalo (CP3) to prove they reached Kryfi Panagia. If they do not hand in their number, they are disqualified from the race.
Upon registration, you will receive a 30-liter plastic bag (carry bag) with your participant number. The drop bag delivery will take place in Kymi on Friday, 23/04/2027, from 17:00 to 22:00 and on Saturday 24/04/2027 from 03:30 to 04:30. Your drop bag is available at the Steni central station (63.3 km), where you can exchange items. The transportation of drop bags to and from the station will be handled by the organization. Returned items will be brought back to Kymi and left in a designated area. It is prohibited to place sharp or fragile items or trekking poles in the bags. Athletes can put any items they leave at Steni back into the same bag, and the organization will transport them back to Kymi.
Transportation will be provided for athletes who have withdrawn or been disqualified and need to return to Kymi.
For more details, please refer to Rule No. 11.
The trail will be densely marked. The designated markers include caution tape (yellow and black) and mountaineering paint signs, clearly indicating the correct path for the athletes. The course markings are temporary and placed by the organizers solely for the convenience of participants. They will be removed after the race. These markings include kilometer signs, directional indicators, and warning markers to prevent athletes from taking the wrong path. At key points along the route—where signage might be insufficient—volunteers will be stationed to guide the athletes.
Athletes are required to have undergone a medical examination by a physician who has deemed them fit to participate in the specific race.
Three days before the race, participants will receive a health questionnaire via email, which they must complete online.
Each athlete must wear their race number (bib) on their body, clearly visible on the front of their shirt. The bib must remain intact throughout the entire race and must not be folded in a way that conceals any part of the printed information (sponsors, logos, etc.). Any significant alteration of the bib that could cause confusion for checkpoint officials may result in disqualification. Loss of the race number also results in disqualification.
The use of trekking poles is allowed. Athletes are also permitted to carry and use a map, compass, GPS device, mobile phone, or radio (VHF).
The race takes place in a mountainous area, which is a sensitive ecosystem. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to discard any items along the route, such as plastic bottles or any solid or liquid food packaging used during the race. Every aid station will have designated trash bags. All athletes are required to dispose of their waste in these bags. Respect the mountain—carry your trash with you and do not litter along the trail. Any athlete caught littering will be permanently banned from the event.
Athletes must move along the trail in a single file and avoid forming groups that stretch across the path and block others wishing to pass. When an athlete is alerted that someone wants to overtake, they must yield by staying on the uphill (inner) side of the slope.
The organizing committee is responsible for providing nutrition and hydration to athletes during the race.
Athlete support is only permitted within the stations.
No cups will be provided at the aid stations. Athletes must carry their own cups.
Weather conditions in the mountains are unpredictable, and sunshine can quickly give way to heavy rain.
The following mandatory gear is required for all participants:
| Required Equipment |
|---|
| Emergency blanket |
| Head torch with spare batteries |
| Mini first aid kit |
| Whistle |
| Long-sleeve thermal shirt |
| Waterproof windbreaker with hood |
| Mobile phone |
| Waterproof pants |
| Collapsible cup / Liquid cup |
| Smartwatch with the race route loaded |
It is also recommended that athletes in all races carry a small backpack or waist pack with basic essentials, such as:
- Sunglasses
- Hat
- Soft flask or wide-mouth water bottle
- Solid food of their choice
Athletes are responsible for carrying one or two containers to separately hold water and isotonic drink.
If an athlete wishes to drop off a pack at key aid stations, they may do so at their own responsibility.
Random gear checks will be conducted before the start and at various checkpoints during the race to verify that all mandatory equipment is being carried.
Failure to carry the required gear may result in a time penalty or disqualification from the race.
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: +30 694 691 8465, +30 698 711 2069, +30 694 947 2442.
They are available to athletes experiencing any type of issue during the race.
These numbers are strictly for emergency use. Family and friends of participants are kindly asked not to call for updates; please follow the live tracking instead.
Runners are permitted to be accompanied by one pacer. All pacers must wait for their runner within the boundaries of the Setta 2 aid station.
Changing pacers is not permitted.
Pacers must be at least 18 years old.
Pacers must enter and exit each aid station with their runner and clearly identify themselves to aid station staff. Pacers may receive assistance at the aid stations.
Pacers may assist their runner by filling water bottles or replenishing supplies at aid stations, but they may not enter the aid station before their runner or leave after their runner in order to speed up the refueling process.
Pacers are not permitted to carry water, food, headlamps, shoes, clothing, or other supplies for their runner, nor may they provide any other form of mechanical or physical assistance to their runner on the course. “Muling” is strictly prohibited. Pacers may carry their own supplies and food.
If a runner withdraws from the race, their pacer must also stop. Pacers are not permitted to continue on the trail without the official race participant.
Use of poles is allowed from the start of the race. As they are not mandatory equipment, there is no requirement for athletes to carry them continuously; they may leave them somewhere and pick them up again elsewhere.
The race checkpoints are located at aid stations as well as at selected points where there will be an electronic timing mat that athletes are required to pass over. Athletes must have their race number clearly visible so that the officials can record them. If an athlete is wearing a windbreaker jacket, they must make sure to show their race number upon reaching the checkpoint. Refusal to show the number will result in disqualification. Any athlete who misses even one checkpoint is considered invalid (disqualified).
Protests for any reason can only be made by the athlete themselves, no later than 1 hour after their finish time.
The race can be stopped only in the event of extreme weather conditions (severe and long-lasting storms). If this happens during the race, the organizers will take all necessary measures to inform the participants by any means possible. Afterwards, the participants will be transported to the race start/finish area.
Athletes participate at their own risk, and the organizing committee is not responsible for any injuries, as explicitly stated in the liability waiver. However, there will be a Volunteer Rescue Team covering the race. Additionally, specialized medical personnel and fully equipped ambulances will be on standby at selected strategic points.
The Committee undertakes to supervise the race route with specialized staff in safety, rescue, and medical assistance for athletes in need. In cases where safety personnel or officials instruct athletes to change their route for safety reasons, athletes are obligated to comply. Failure to comply will result in disqualification.
If necessary (due to extremely dangerous weather conditions), the Organizers reserve the right to modify the route or to postpone the start of the race for a short time in order to avoid risking the physical safety of the athletes.
If the race cannot be held on the scheduled date due to force majeure, a new date will be announced. All payments will remain valid for the new date. If someone does not wish to participate on the new date, they can request a refund. The refund will be given minus a €2 fee withheld by the bank as administrative costs.
Timing will be done digitally with a chip attached to the running shoe. Results will be displayed in real-time and posted immediately after the race. Each athlete will receive a message with their personal finish time right after crossing the finish line. A live streaming service will be available during the finish.
The official results will be published after verification by the organizing committee in the days following the race. The final race ranking is the one provided by the timing company and is indisputable. Under no circumstances or for any reason will duplicate medals be awarded to athletes who finish simultaneously.
The penalty for infractions and rule violations is disqualification. For missing mandatory equipment, rules 23 and 24 apply (time penalty or disqualification).
It applies to:
1. Pollution of the route,
2. Cutting the course,
3. Failure to carry the mandatory equipment.
The organizers are not responsible for death, injury, or any health damage to the participants, who by submitting their entry application acknowledge the risks present in the mountainous environment and certify that their health condition is good and allows them to compete, having been recently examined by a doctor for this purpose. However, athletes will not be asked to submit a medical certificate; by registering they declare that they have been examined by a doctor and are fit to take part. Participants themselves are obliged to regularly undergo medical preventive checks to monitor their health condition.
The organizers disclaim any responsibility for the physical integrity of the athletes, who must behave responsibly in sections of the course where the risk of falling with unpleasant or fatal consequences is increased. The organizers disclaim any financial responsibility in case of external assistance to any athlete.
In case of injuries, transport to Steni or to a hospital is carried out by the designated authorities, but always at the injured party’s own financial expense. The event organizers do not constitute a government service and are not liable for costs that are not their responsibility.
The Organizers and their partners retain the copyrights for photography and filming of the race by authorized teams assigned to this task. Every athlete whose application is accepted automatically agrees to this term, acknowledging that their image may appear in photos or videos without prior permission and without the right to claim any compensation for the publication of such material.
