South Olympus Forest Trail

About this event

Set in the forests below Mount Olympus, the South Olympus Forest Trail offers runners a chance to explore Greece's legendary mountain range without tackling its most extreme terrain. The 10-kilometre route provides a welcoming introduction to trail running with 600 metres of climbing, perfect for those taking their first steps off the pavement. More experienced runners can tackle the 53-kilometre distance, climbing through dense forest trails with nearly 2,700 metres of elevation gain. The late October timing means cooler temperatures and autumn colours in the forests surrounding Palaios Panteleimonas, a traditional village that serves as the event's base. Trail running with mythological surroundings, accessible to those just starting their journey.
