INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN TRAIL RACE PSILORITIS RACE

Welcome to Greeceâ&#x20AC;Ś Welcome to Creteâ&#x20AC;Ś and its highest mountain Psiloritis, where Zeus was brought up..

THE IDEA Dear friends, The idea of a mountain race in Crete, with high international standards, was first born in June 2008 on Mt Olympus. Our love for the mountain Psiloritis where Zeus brought up, the promotion of the natural beauty of the area finally transformed the idea into practice .Having the support of the people who love the island and enjoy running on the mountains, we organize this event which is called the "Psiloritis Race" (PR). The event is organized with the kind support of the prefecture of Rethymno. The International Mountain Race "Psiloritis Race" is an athletic meeting that forwards physical activity in touch with the natural environment. The race offers the opportunity to experience the unique and exciting character of the mountain along with the opportunity for the participants to experience a unique vigorous seven-hour race. That is the reason why the athletes who will try out their strength in the PR should practice the philosophy of semi autonomy, carrying a least a necessary equipment that will provide them with security and sustenance during the race ; while there will be a systematical and in regular intervals supply. We created the PR site with 25.000 views until now, that will provide all the information for the race , as well as on the FaceBook, which is welcomed in ten days time by 5.000 friends around the world. For this well-organized and innovative event the response has far exceeded all the expectations of the organizing committee which aims to attract more and more athletes every year. With your participation either as athletes or as volunteers or spectators along with your comments and feedback will help us achieve the best possible result. We invite everyone to join the Race in any way they choose. Follow the steps of Zeus
