KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Runner's Intel.

For Coastal routes, standard running shoes are fine. However, for Mountain and Technical trails, we strongly recommend trail-specific footwear with good grip to ensure your safety on rocky terrain.

Our "No-Drop Policy" means no runner is left behind. Our guides adjust the pace to yours. These are experiences, not races. We are here to enjoy the landscape, not just the stopwatch.

Yes, for all private and scheduled runs within the Plakias wider area, we provide complimentary transfer to and from the starting point of the route.

Every run includes a professional local guide, insurance, high-quality photography/video of your run, hydration (water/electrolytes), and a light local snack at the end.
