Irakles Goritsa Trail is an October trail race on Goritsa Hill near Volos, in Thessaly. Goritsa is a familiar spot for Volos visitors, and the race offers local runners a short mountain-style event close to the city, not a remote alpine outing.
The Volos Health Runners Club organizes the race with the Region of Thessaly, under the auspices of EOSLMA-Y, the Greek federation for popular mass-sport clubs and ultradistance running. Safety support is explicitly detailed in the race information: the Special Forces Club of Magnesia assists with event coverage, and EKAV supports runners with a staffed motorcycle for rapid response to urgent situations. Irakles Group is the main sponsor.
