Akrolofiton races held in Kavalouri on Sunday 23 March

The races were organised by the Kavalouri Community & Cultural Society in collaboration with Karousades Cultural Societyy, Platon Nymfon Cultural Society, Agrafon Cultural Society and Antipernon Cultural Society, as well as with the cooperation of the Ionian Islands Regional Authority, the Municipality of North Corfu, and under the auspices of SEGAS Corfu Regional Committee, which co-organised the event.

A large number of people participated, a testament to the love of the people who have embraced the event, with more and more participants lining up at the starting line each year. It was excellently organised in every aspect, thanks to everyone who contributed to making this sports event happen once again.

A special mention goes to the children from Lefkimmi, who travelled over 70 kilometres early in the morning to reach Kavalouri and even achieved several distinctions. As always, the driving force behind the event was the tireless track and field advocate, Nikos Moschos, technical advisor of SEGAS Corfu Regional Committee.
