A WORLD CLASS TRAIL RUNNING ADVENTURE
THROUGH THE ANCIENT LANDSCAPES OF GREECE
WHY GREECE?
MYTH, MOUNTAINS, AND THE MAGIC OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
Step into the ancient spirit of Greece, where every trail carries echoes of myth and history. You’ll run (or hike) through vineyard valleys in Nemea, across alpine ridges in Arcadia, and along coastal paths in Nafplio. Climb to the summit of Hydra’s Mount Eros, explore the heritage of Sparta, and wander the timeless streets of Athens. Paired with seamless logistics, expert guides, and boutique accommodations, this is more than a running trip — it’s a journey through myth, mountains, and Mediterranean magic.
