Keri Cross Country Race in Keri forest (Municipality of Malevizi), one of the few green lungs left around Heraklion, running since 2021. The idea behind it: raise awareness about protecting the forest, give people a taste of the easiest form of mountain running and get kids and grown-ups moving outside the city (Netflix can wait). For our little friends: no competition, no awards, no rankings. The goal is simply for kids to get to know the forest and move around in nature. Free participation with electronic timing (no event t-shirt). The race pack is picked up only by a parent or guardian. Registrations close on 08/12 or earlier if the 500 available spots fill up. Race pack and bib pickup: Saturday 19/12, 16:00-18:00 (strictly) at Three Trees, Knossou 38A, Heraklion (just above the fire station), with the participant's name. Race day: secretariat in Keri forest 08:00-09:30 (strictly), no packs handed out after 09:30. Contact: ideanroutes@gmail.com, +30 694 586 3051.
