2nd Mountain Running Races of Valtinos Warriors 2026 - 28km

Valtinos Warriors is a mountain running event in Aetolia-Acarnania. The 10 km trail race begins at 10:00 from the Chalkiopoulo area. The route starts high at Palio Chalkiopoulo, approximately 800 m above sea level, and concludes lower in Neo Chalkiopoulo at about 250 m. The entry fee is €10. This event is designed for runners seeking a short mountain course, not an ultra-distance race. The course crosses a ravine shaded by mature plane trees and passes the historic Mill of the Blind. It then ascends through fir and oak woodlands towards Diaselo pass and Ipsili Rachi. Participants will also see the Panagia Silevistes chapel, Avrrakota spring (462 m), and finish on agricultural roads. The route balances gentle climbs with a significant net descent, suitable for both runners and hikers. Two aid stations are provided.
