Gentiki, LarissaOpen in Maps Sunday, 21 February 2027

Every February, Gentiki Trail takes runners up Larissa's 'secret mountain', a rocky ridge a quarter of an hour from the city. The 21 km goes over the 422 m summit twice. A flag flies up there, and on a clear day you see Olympus and Kissavos across the plain. Between the two passes you drop to the plain and climb back up the steepest wall of the race, then retrace the ridge to the finish. The 5.1 km Gentikaki is the short course for runners new to the mountains.
