For a third year in a row, Naxos, the largest island of the Cyclades, is hosting its annual Naxos Mountain Bike Race, Sunday, October 18th, 2015 at 12 pm.
The 20km technically-challenging off-road race, organised by Island Events (www.islandevents.gr), under the auspices of the cultural and athletic organisation of the Municipality Naxos and Small Cyclades – NOPPAPPPA), is open to men and women with a shorter course of 10 km for young adults and other athletes (see categories below).
The race begins and ends at the traditional village of Sagri, a listed protected settlement, 11km from Naxos town. In the heart of Naxos’s countryside, known as the Tragea valley, it is an area of rare natural beauty known for its wealth of olive groves and Byzantine churches.
The demanding route, almost entirely on dirt tracks, continues through the villages of Damalas and Damarionas towards the foothills of the mountain of Profitis Ilias for a two-loop course run (one loop for the shorter distance) and with Mt. Zas (the Cyclades’s highest mountain peak) as the backdrop, onward to the finish at Sagri once again.
In addition to delving into an area rich in mountainous terrain, green valleys and picturesque villages, participants will pass sightseeing highlights such as: the 17th-century Timios Stavros Monastery – Bazeos Tower and Apaliros Castle.
The altitude is 470 meters steep with grades only in a few spots and the elevation is gradual.
For the off road adrenaline enthusiasts there is a quick downhill 1300 metres with loose rocks and a technical pass through a river bed.
