Rodopi Advendurun 2016: Registrations open on May 20, 2016

150 athletes will be admitted to the race this year regardless of country of origin. Registration is a two-stage process, first the application for participation is approved and then you are notified to proceed with the fees payment. The payment period for those already fulfilling the criteria and thus approved to participate will begin on May 20 and will last until the 150 places are filled up or until July 31, if there are still openings. The organization will take special provisions to ensure a minimum number of starters are athletes residing outside Greece.

The qualification criterion remains the same as in previous years, finishing in an approved trail race of at least 80 km over the past 3 years (2014, 2015,2016 ).

The entry fee for this year's race will remain EUROS 120,00. Race course, rules and regulations will published within the forthcoming week (although there will be not substantial changes as of past year (cut-off to 40 hours).

The Steering Committee of ROUT took care to instill consistently until today the philosophy of a race not confined to the narrow limits of an organized racing event but provides athletes with the opportunity to experience an immersion to the pristine nature of Rodopi mountains. Today, with the experience of six previous editions, adventure transpires the Rodopi Advendurun and this spirit will prevail in all our future endeavors.

Our best to all,
