MakrakomiBackyardUltra

About this event

Set in the mountains near Makrakomi, this backyard ultra follows the classic format: a 6.7-kilometre loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. Each lap climbs 128 metres through the Greek countryside, testing endurance and mental resolve as the hours stack up. Runners have just under 60 minutes to complete each loop before the bell rings again. The manageable loop profile and welcoming atmosphere make it surprisingly accessible for those curious about the backyard format, though the real challenge lies in how many loops runners choose to tackle. Previous editions have seen distances ranging from a single lap to well over 100 kilometres as competitors push their limits.
