Faethon Skyrace is a mountain running event on Mount Olympus, utilizing the alpine terrain of Greece’s mythical mountain. The series also includes the Faethonaki Run, a 1 km children’s race in Kokkinopilos, Larissa, held on the same race weekend around the main skyrace.
The children’s race is designed for ages 3 to 10 and is free to enter. Its route is a simple loop along the village’s main road, starting and finishing in the central square of Kokkinopilos, allowing families to follow and cheer from one location. The event is organized by the Faethon Race Organizing Committee and is named “Apostolos Tsourekas”.
