Andros Trail Race 2018

Andros Trail Race 2018

The Andros Trail Race 2018, the 3rd Mountain Running Race was organized by Trekking Andros & Outdoor Activities and Andros KOINSEP. Co-organizers were the Municipality of Andros and the South Aegean Region. Despite the “Zorba” storm visit and the adverse weather conditions, Andros Trail Race was a great success. It took place on Saturday, 29 and Sunday, 30 September 2018 in the area of Korthi in Andros.

Andros Trail Race159 athletes from Greece and abroad, ran, walked and enjoyed the 5, 10 and 24 km routes. The first day of the Andros Trail Race included two events, five kilometres and one kilometre (“Kids”). On the second day, the 10 and 24 km races took place. The participants came in touch with breathtaking landscapes and cultural monuments of Andros. They met the hiking trails and found what makes the island unique.

An all-weather race

Andros Trail Race 2018Last year’s athletes were more because of the turmoil caused by the bad weather. The adverse weather forecasts, changes and cancellations of ships have prevented a lot of people to come to the island. The issue of heavy weather reports that came to the organizers once in a while and possible difficulties did not hinder the normal running of the 3rd Andros Trail Race. Everyone believed in the race and gave their best. The organizers, volunteers, athletes who participated in the 3rd Mountain Race, showed their strong will.

But it is not just about the race. On Saturday night we travelled with traditional music and the flavours of Andros. Handmade local products and dancing, at the pasta party that took place at Ormos Korthi Square.

Andros Trail Race | A great and important event

The success of Andros Trail Race makes it a great and important event. It is now a leading athletic happening for Andros and an important event for the Cyclades. A race that evolves every year, offering emotions in the beautiful scenery of the island. A race that promotes the certified Andros hiking network, as the first island in Europe with a European certification.

On an amazing island … Andros.

Went here to celebrate a special birthday. Everything was top notch; started with g n t on the terrace with fantastic sea views, then moved indoors to the table which had been set in an immaculate fashion. Staters were great and all parties enjoyed their food which ranged from traditional Greek to more adventurous; my tomahawk pork steak was the best I’ve had on the island. Slightly more expensive than the usual tavernas, but well worth it for the service and location, will be back for sure. (Trip Advisor)

A great hotel with pool, spar and scuba centre. Beach with a bar across the road which is perfect for sun and sea. Excellent choice for breakfast with a fabulous dining area both indoors and al fresco. Superior rooms are excellent with modern decor and bathroom. In the restaurant, there is a short menu but all the dishes are cooked to perfection, and special daily dishes are a feature. Sunset views amazing. Very helpful staff under the direct supervision of Phillip Perrakis. Handy for Batsi but 45 minutes by bus to Andros Town. (Trip Advisor)

Very clean hotel, with friendly staff, very near the beach. 5 minutes from the port, near the village of Batsi where you can find good restaurants and pubs. Strongly recommend this hotel, for its good quality and for sure you get more than what you pay for. (Trip Advisor)
