ROUTE INFORMATION
The whole race is held on an asphalt track! The kilometers of the race from the start in Kosmas, Arcadia, to the finish in Peleta, Arcadia, is 51 kilometers! The paradox of this ultra-distance race, something that does not happen with any other race in our country, even though the race is point to point, is that from the start of the race in Kosmas, the village of the finish - that is, Peleta - is visible, since both communities are essentially on the same plateau, just to get from one community to the other, we chose the most distant route!
The race will start at 10.00 in the morning from the village of Kosmas Arcadia!
Basically, it is a race that has a big downhill at the beginning, then it straightens out, and ends with an uphill and a little straightening!One can liken the terrain of the race as an upside down "P"!
The route you will take is as follows:
The first 21km, if you exclude the first 700m, until you leave the Community of Kosmas, is basically a long downhill! After 21km.the road essentially levels out with small uphill sections! After the 30th km. where you meet the beautiful Leonidio - the capital of Tsakonia, up to the 37th km. the route basically becomes a straightening!
From the 37th km. i.e. from Poulithra Arcadia, up to the 39th km. there is a long and prolonged 2 km uphill, until you exit Poulithra Arcadia! From the 39th km. where you start to climb the mountain up to the 45,5 km. the uphill continues but it will be much more gentle and heavy! From the 45,5o km. until the finish, at 51o km., we are basically talking about straight terrain with some small occasional minor hills of minor importance! The finish line is in the beautiful community of Peleta, right on the square, where you are invited to arrive by 17.45 in the afternoon of 25 November.
As you have seen in the moto of the race "full of contrasts" the route will compensate you with its constant changes in landscape! Basically in the first 7km. you run through the fir trees, and then after you go downhill to Panagia Elona at about the 14th km, from that point and up to the 28th km you run through the infinitely beautiful gorge of Leonidi! At the 28th kilometer you will enter the picturesque Leonidio, and after you reach its harbor, the Plaka Leonidio, you will run next to the sea, for about 3 kilometers! Once you exit Poulithra after the 39th km, and start climbing the mountain, you will constantly face the Myrtoo Sea, and across the sea you will see the islands of Spetses and Hydra! When you climb the mountain at 45,5O km. in Pyrgoudi, it is worth taking a few minutes to admire the view that will make up for it!!!! The last five and a half kilometres are carried out on the plateau of South Parnonas, with the mountains on the horizon to enchant you and take you on a journey! The last 500 meters or so are carried out in the community of Peleta, where you will finish on the square - catalytic finish time 17.45!

Also every 5 kilometers there will be a mileage indicator, and wherever else the organization deems appropriate!
