Health Coverage
In any case all runners participate solely at their own risk. The organizers have no responsibility for whatever happens to the runners related to health issues or is due to lack of preventive medical check. It is highly recommended that the participants undergo a thorough medical examination before entering the race. The organizers will not ask for medical certificates from any athlete (male and female), since they all participate at their own exclusive risk and responsibility (children are at the liability of their parents or guardians).

The Organising Committee is responsible to provide medical service to the runners by organising and operating medical stations and units at the start, the finish and throughout the course.

Plastira Lake is an artificial lake completely harmonized with the natural landscape, rich in sightseeing and ideal for mountain activities. The remarkable dam at Kakavakia gave life to the lake, which is impressively framed by the Agrafa peaks, foul with firs. Some of the activities waiting for you are bicycling around or even in the lake, kayak, mountain sports, horse riding and 4x4.



The lake was an idea of the well known Greek general, Nikolao Plastira, at 1928.  Years later, the dam and the lake became reality and the general gave his name to the lake, as he didn’t live enough to admire it. Clear blue water, wonderful watersides, firs and colorful people enjoying in every way the seductive landscape of the mountain lake, this is Palstira Lake.
The region is also foul of activities. Mountain sports, cycling, horse riding, kayak and cycling in the crystal clear waters of the lake, or for the more adventurous paraglide and glider. You may also cross the canyon of the Big Rema. Using your own equipment or renting it from one of the many companies in the area, be ready for new adventures at the Plastira Lake.  
The region of the lake is also known for its delicious dishes. Enjoy roasted and cooked meat, grilled trout and traditional cooked dishes and accompany them with some Melenikola wine. The traditional, stone-made taverns are famous for their great food and hospitality. In the morning or early in the afternoon visit one of the many cafes alongside the lake to enjoy your coffee.
