Three routes of 29, 19 and 7 kilometers included with routes through gorges, forest roads, and hiking trails, starting at an altitude of 950m. and reaching up to 1900m. following a route in an idyllic mountain setting with a varied landscape!
Last summer, 500 runners from the Peloponnese, and Athens as well, were “present” and participated in this wonderful race. At Vamvakou Mountain Run there is an official electronic timing, so that all runners know their performance.
The time limit for the 29 km long route is set at 6:30 hours, ending at 16:00.
The time limit for the 19 km route is set at 4:30 hours, ending at 14:30.
The time limit for the shorter route is set at 3 hours, ending at 13:00.
The purpose of the event is to highlight the natural wealth of the wider area and encourage participation in activities and events in nature, with visitors having the opportunity to get to know the lush green paths of Parnon and live the experience of Vamvakou.
The event is being held for the fifth consecutive year by Vamvakou Revival, within the framework of the initiative for the revival of the village with the support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
