North Olympus Trail Vrontou

About this event

The North Olympus Trail Vrontou takes runners into the quieter northern flanks of Greece's legendary mountain. Starting from the village of Vrontou, the 21-kilometre route climbs 1450 metres through mixed forests and rocky terrain, offering a more secluded alternative to Olympus's busier southern approaches. October brings cooler temperatures and early autumn colours at higher elevations. While the distance seems modest, the significant climb makes this a proper mountain challenge suited to experienced trail runners. Steady climbing is rewarded with views across northern Greece and glimpses of Olympus's dramatic upper peaks — a compelling way to run on mythical ground.
