Important Information
Organized by Evolution Training Club.
Starts at 08:00 from the iconic Armenistis Lighthouse (Fanari area) — built in 1890 after a dramatic 1877 shipwreck of the British steamship Volta, which was laying telegraph cables and ran aground in fog.
The lighthouse hill was once nicknamed Vourvoulakas (vampire) to scare children away from its dangerous cliffs.
Now abandoned, it is one of Mykonos's most scenic spots and a favourite meeting point for visitors.
The race traces the island's walking trails through landscapes of unique natural beauty, with the goal of promoting alternative tourism and building a running culture on the island.
Also a great tune-up race for the 20th Alexander the Great Marathon (April 26, 2026).
Kit pickup: Saturday 18 April, 12:00–20:00 at Evolution Training gym.
Participant limit: 500.
