Trail races in Greece

Greece's trail races traverse volcanic peninsulas on Methana, the White Mountains of Crete, and the legendary slopes of Mount Olympus, where routes climb from sea level to peaks above 2,400 metres. Runners navigate technical mountain paths through the Peloponnese, explore car-free island trails on Hydra, and follow ancient kalderimi connecting traditional villages across the mainland and islands. From the Rhodope foothills near Komotini to the forests of Mount Dirfys on Evia, these courses showcase rugged ridgelines, coastal views over the Aegean and Libyan Sea, and terrain shaped by both mythology and geology.
