Mastichathlon begins and concludes at Afanis Square in Chios, with the race office and award ceremonies located there. This June race weekend centers on the sole triathlon event in the Northeast Aegean, also offering separate starts for runners and bike-run athletes: a 1 km kids race, 5 km and 10 km runs, a duathlon, and a sprint triathlon. The triathlon involves open sea and road segments: 750 m swimming, 20 km cycling, and 5 km running, with drafting permitted. The duathlon shares the same 20 km bike leg and 5 km run. Both the triathlon and duathlon are open to solo participants or teams. Participants in the main races receive medals, while triathlon and duathlon entrants get shirts. Drop bags are available for the multisport events, and the day concludes with food, drink, and a post-race gathering.
