5ΚΜ CHARITY RACE:
The race is ideal for beginner mountain runners and there will be no cut-off time. The race distance is 5 km with a +130m ascend. The terrain is 3 km on asphalt and 2 km through the natural trails (part of the Artemis trail). The start and finish will be held at Troodos square. After the start of the race the runners will follow the main road from Troodos to Prodromos. At the 1200 m point they will make a left turn into the forest trail, where, after about 500 m they will reach the entrance of Artemis natural trail. At the 3rd km, which is the highest point in the race (1852 m), there will be a refuelling station. The last 2 km are downhill, mainly on asphalt with only about 500 m through forest trails (between 3.3 – 3.8 km).

15KM GREEN RACE:
The race distance is 15 km with a +240 m altitude gain. The terrain will be 1,7 km asphalt and 13,6 km through natural trails (1,5 km in the Artemis and 10 km in the Atalante trails), 1,2 km in the skiing route and 0,6 km through forest road. The start will take place at Troodos square (altitude 1724 m). After the start the runners will follow the main road from Troodos to Prodromos. After about 1,2 km the runners will turn left in the forest road where after 500 m they will reach the entrance of the Artemis trail. After the 3rd km at an altitude of 1852m, there will be 300 m downhill on asphalt where, after the runners make a left turn they will run through a part of the Artemis trail. In about 500 m, the runners will find on their left the skiing route (connection piste 1- Hera). There will be a 700 m uphill part with a high incline, which leads the runners to the peak of Olympus at an altitude of 1952 m, Cyprus’ highest point. There, the runners will be at the 4.5 km mark of the race and will pass through the first check point. Following this, there will be a 500 m sharp downhill (which should be approached with caution), from the skiing route of north face b. The runners, after passing the skiing center on their left will end up on asphalt terrain, where after about 200 m they will reach the entrance of Atalante trail and the 1st refuelling station will be found (5.2 km mark). The route continuous through Atalante trail for 9,8 km until the finish in Troodos square. The Atalante trail has no significant altitude changes but it is very technical. At the 10,7km mark the runners will find the 2nd and last refuelling station, in front of the entrance of the old mine. At this point the runners will pass through the 2nd check point at 1749 m of altitude. 100 m prior to the 12th km there is a natural spring with drinking water.

SHIONISTRA PEAK 29KM:
The runners, after the start at Troodos square, will be heading north, following the road (asphalt), towards Olympus. Around the 1.2 km mark, the runners will make a left turn and enter the pathway for about 1.2 km. At the 2.5 km mark, they will cross the asphalt road, which leads to Olympus and they will enter the Artemis trail, where, they will follow an uphill path, reaching the peak of Olympus (3.5 km – first check point). From this point, the runners will descend from the ski slope for about 300m and then take a right turn, entering a dirt road for about 200m. Thereafter, they will make a right turn and enter the Atalante path, which takes them back to Troodos square and the area where an army camp is located (asphalt, 7th km). Following the asphalt road for 200m, the runners will turn left and follow the dirt road for 600m. Then, turning right, they will enter the pathway towards Kannoures. Following a downhill direction towards Ayios Nikolaos, the runners will cross the river, multiple times, which is found along the pathway, until the entrance to the dirt road, located at around the 12.5 km (1st fueling station). Continuing the descend for about 2 km, the runners will reach Ayios Nikolaos at the 14.5 km mark (asphalt). At this point, they will make a right turn and at around 500m, they will turn right again, entering the pathway. Passing in front of the fish farm and crossing the river again, the runners will follow the dirt road up to the 19th km, where they will find the 2nd fueling station. This is also the cut-off point for 3 hours. Thereafter, the runners will enter the pathway, Mnimata ton Piskopon, where they will follow an upward direction up to the 21st km (blue barrel with water). The runners continue the uphill direction and enter the dirt road up to the asphalt road at the 26th km. Then, they turn right towards the street and passing successively, by the wooden-faucet and the army camp, they turn right (the same point they had passed by at the 6th km).

After 500m, into the dirt road, they turn left so as reach the Troodos square (parking area) at the 28.5 km. After this, they turn left into the asphalt road, crossing the governmental residences, entering a narrow pathway with a downhill direction (some parts with a steep slope). At the end of the pathway they turn right into the dirt road, where, after a while they will find a steep and demanding uphill of 600m with a gradient over 20%. This slope starts in front of the protected by the Forest Department, Aorato, 480 year old tree, leading to Troodos square at the 31st km and the 3rd Fueling Station.
The runners continue on the Troodos – Platres asphalt road and at the round-about in front of Troodos Hotel, they make a slight left turn, heading towards the British Army camp after about 1 km. Crossing the dirt road for about 1 km, the runners will enter the Pouziari pathway at the 33.3km, where the 4th fueling station is located (which they will run into again at the 42.6 km). This pathway is downhill and reaches up to Platres, in front of the ‘Psilo Dentro’ restaurant, at the 37.7km, where the 5th fueling station is located. Then, the runners will cross and ascend for 3 km the demanding but beautiful, whole-green Kalidonia pathway, crossing the river (where abundant drinking water flows) numerous times, until they enter the dirt road at the 40.6 km. After they exit of the pathway, they turn right following the dirt road, which has a slight uphill gradient until the 42.6km - fueling station. From that point, the runners turn left towards the Troodos central square, where the finish line is located (the same route that the runners followed from the 31st to the 33.3rd km).
