It is highly recommended that the participants undergo a thorough medical examination before entering the race. The organisers will not ask for medical certificates from any athlete (male and female)\, since they all participate at their own exclusive risk and responsibility (parents or guardians have liability for their children). We will also provide offers for special health check-up for all runners\, and members of their families.  \nAid Stations\nAlong the running route\, there will be stations to support the runners. At the start and finish stations and at the runners’ support stations bottled water and sports drinks will be available to all attendees.  \nAwards\nThe first three winners of the general classification Men and Women will be awarded a medal and a diploma.

Attention: Your time will not be registered and will not be included in the results if you do not have the timing chip attached to your shoe and if you fail to pass over the timing mats. \nRoutes\nEven though the streets of Spetses are of good quality for the first two to three kilometres after the start line\, there are some problematic spots when cycling through the old part of the city. Thus\, it is proposed to use road bikes instead of time trial bikes.  \nMap of 25km cycling- island circuit \nMap of 1km swimming \nstart-finish point for swimming\, St Mamas beach
