We are happy to announce the 2nd edition of the Alogostrata Trail race! Again with 8km and 18km races, again with food and drinks and tunes at the start/finish in Agios Markos.
The race follows the ancient trade trails that have been used by
the mountain villagers to bring down their goods to the sea and
Corfu town. The name arrives from the historic name of the
final downhill of the run – the Alogostrata, Greek for 'horse
road'.
The Alogostrata had been forgotten and overgrown since the
1930s. After an aborted attempt in 2016 to find and reopen it
for trail running and hiking, in 2019 three friends took up on it
again – and succeeded. Since then the Alogostrata is loved by
trail runners and hikers as a demanding but beautiful
connection up and down Pantokratoras. Finally now it's part of
a race.
Start and finish of the Alogostrata Trail will be the new village of
Agios Markos. There will be an 8km race and an 18km race –
both having the amazing Alogostrata path as final speedy
downhill.
The race is short in kilometers but quite demanding with the Liskia path as almost vertical uphill. Once up, it goes for a nice loop around the lake of Spartilas passing the abandoned church Agios Nikolaos and heads towards the Alogostrata for a speedy downhill with amazing views.
More InfoThis race for the first time combines some of the favorite trail pieces of the local trail runners: Liskia, the Orchidea trail behind Spartilas' lake, the enchanted path along Zigos creek towards Sokraki, the hunters' path and the speedy Alogostrata downhill.
