CORFU. Corfu Mountain Trail and Acharavi Trekking Group are organizing the first of a series of training runs on Sunday 16 December at 10:00.

The training will take place at the traditional village of Old Perithia, which is just 14km from the starting point of the 110 ULTRA race. The start and finish points will be in the village square and runners, just like last year, will follow a 8km marked route and a 16km marked route. 70% of the paths are new to the ULTRA CMT - such as Krinia, Loustra and the circular path at the top of Mt. Pantokrator from the east side towards old Sinies.

Apart from the competitive part of the run for experienced runners (it will be timed) it will also be a chance for participants to get to know the paths that will be included in the 110km race on 4 May 2019. Yet again this year the race will be extremely competitive with international and top-quality runners taking part.

After the run there will be a friendly discussion in a traditional taverna about the Corfu Mountain Trail race along with technical guidelines.
