The 12th Corfu Mountain Trail is taking place on May 11th and 12th, in collaboration with the Corfu Mountain Trail Association, the Ionian Islands Regional Authority, and Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands Municipality. A press conference was held at the Old Town Hall today, attended by athletes and organisers.

Central Corfu Deputy Mayor of Tourism, Sustainable Tourism Development & Public Relations, Spyros Halikiopoulos stated that the Corfu Mountain Trail is an institution firmly established in Corfiot society. He further added, "The race aligns with the core of our priorities, regarding the tourist development and promotion of Corfu," as it involves a race held in the countryside, thus promoting a variety of alternative forms of tourism "and tourist markets that are of particular interest to us."
