Attica

Byzantine Race 50K

Megara, West AtticaOpen in Maps Sunday, 24 January 2027 road

A winter road ultra on the edge of Attica: 49.6 km of tarmac from Megara up through pistachio orchards and pine forest, down to the Gulf of Corinth at Alepochori, five kilometres by the sea, then the long climb to 500 m before 15 km of descent home. It carries the name of Byzas of Megara, founder of Byzantium, and is meant as a first taste of ultra distance: one marathon finish is your ticket in.
