Ancient Olympia Greece

the race

Experience the thrilling atmosphere of the legendary Tour de France in the second Greek event and discover incredible cycling routes in the Valley of the Gods, starting and finishing in Ancient Olympia. You can choose to compete in one of the two races of different distances and altitudes, The Race and The Ride, or enjoy a fun experience in the Fun Ride, suitable for families and non competitive groups.

The Race (130 km with 2,150 meters of elevation), the main race, is a challenging circuit with multiple aid stations passing through iconic areas, while the shorter race.

The Ride (76 km with 1,400 meters of elevation) is a smaller loop.

Both routes pass by ancient temples, picturesque villages surrounded by olive groves, Byzantine churches, and hills covered in wildflowers.

The Fun Ride route (17 km, flat) is a non-competitive event open to ages from 9 to 99, of any skill level, without timing. It's an experience that combines the rich Greek nature and our ancient history, set in the most beautiful time of the year, Springtime!
