We would like to inform you about the “1st Donoussa Trail Running” which will take place in the island of Donoussa on Saturday 28/10/2017.
The event includes a 19km mountain race, rising to an elevation of 1000m in total and it is part of the "Cyclades Trail Cup" mountain running championship of the Cyclades.
The race will start from the harbour of Stauros at 10.30am. The runners are required to run along each one of the traditional trails comprising the Route Network of Cultural Interest of Donoussa, in a par excellence Cycladic landscape with a constant view over the Aegean, traversing the mountain mass of the island in its entirety and passing through all four of the villages of Donoussa. In this way, the runners will have the chance to get a better knowledge of the land, its natural beauty, its people.
