Corfu Old Town Trail

Corfu Old Town Trail starts from Liston Square in Corfu Town and sends runners straight into the old city rather than out onto a rural path. It is a city trail run near the end of the tourist season, usually in September or October, with 14 km and 7 km options plus a parent-child race. The event is organised by local Corfu authorities together with the Corfu Mountain Trail team, and it has already been held more than ten times. The 14 km course goes through St. Spyridonas Square, crosses Nikiforou Theotoki Street, climbs toward the hill of the New Fortress, and continues inside the fortified old town. The route also passes both Corfu fortresses, the Asian Art Museum, Mon Repos Palace, and the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, so runners cover a lot of the island capital’s historic core in one race. The field includes club runners, independent entrants, and local participants, with names from Corfu clubs appearing alongside unaffiliated runners.
