View Online Map
On the second day, mountain running lovers will enjoy a trail run in a distance of 11k. As the Forestry Department are continuing works in the Akamas access roads, the start of the race has changed for the first 1km leading to the little church. From the 2nd km onwards the route is the same as used in previous years. The first 4km are rocky up to an old barn building where the drink station is positioned. From there the path becomes smoother. At 6km there is a fairly steep descent for 1km before climbing again, with a short steep uphill around 9km. Approaching Pano Arodes it levels off and goes slightly downhill until the 500m climb up through the village to finish in the pretty church square.
