Styx Race

About this event

Set in the mountains above Kalavryta, the Styx Race takes its name from the mythical river and offers runners a genuine taste of Greek mountain trails. Three distances explore Mount Helmos — a 3km introduction with 620 metres of climbing, a 10km route (811 metres ascent) across the lower slopes, and a 27km challenge (1,802 metres ascent) that ventures deeper into the range. The courses wind through dense fir forests and alpine terrain, with views stretching across the Peloponnese. Runners follow forest paths and more technical mountain trails, making this an accessible entry point into Greek trail running while still offering substance for experienced runners. The mid-October timing catches the mountains in their autumn colours.
