Sfakia Aradena Trail 2026

The Sfakia Aradena Trail is a 10.5 km race held in Anopoli, Chania, Crete. Beginning in the afternoon, it offers runners 480 metres of elevation gain, presenting a short race with significant mountain effort rather than a simple fun run. The Arkalos Team organizes the event, with an entry fee of €20. The route crosses the Aradena Gorge twice and includes a visit to the abandoned village of Aradena. It utilizes restored old Kalderimi cobblestone paths, with some sections bordering the gorge's edge where red rock walls ascend nearly vertically alongside the path.
