ROUT CLASSIC 2023: Registrations open on May 10, 2023

Starting Wednesday 10 at 20.00, registrations are open for the 13th edition of ROUT CLASSIC 100 miles (ROUT) of 2023. Registrations will use the online registration form and will last until August 11.

150 athletes will be admitted to the race this year regardless of country of origin. 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 50 miles (80 km) over the past 3 calendar years (2021, 2022,2023). The entry fee for this year's race will remain EUROS 170,00. Race course, rules and regulations can be found here.

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 twelve previous editions, adventure transpires the ROUT CLASSIC and this spirit will prevail in all our future endeavors.

Our best to all,

The ROUT Family Steering Committee
