Olympus Mythical Trail

Litochoro, Mt OlympusOpen in Maps Saturday, 3 July 2027

A loop of almost the whole Olympus massif from a midnight start in Litochoro: 110 km and 7,200 m of climbing, 90% of it on technical path. You climb through the night past Koromilia and Petrostrougka to the Muses plateau, cross Skolio (2,911 m) at first light, drop to Karya on the quiet southern side and come home by Prionia and the Enipeas gorge. Capped at 200 runners, with strict qualification. **The race has been suspended since 2023.**
