10 January 2012

The 2012 Greek Triathlon Calendar has now been released !!!

Triathlon in Greece
It was an unexpected shock to all triathletes to get informed that Schiniathlon (the only and first ever company to organise triathlon events in Greece, since 2007) decided to leave from the race arena at the closing 2011 season.

Schiniathlon tri-race series events
attracted a huge crowd of excited athletes who wanted to participate into endurance sports. It set up the basis for the growth of triathlon in Greece, a multi-sport that was unknown (and still is) to many sports people, despite the ideal weather conditions available almost all year around and spots, appropriate for triathlon, in this country.

However, we are now informed that new triathlon race events have been organised by new individual sports companies! The good news are that the dates for the 2012 tri-events have been released. Here they are:

(Word Translation: 
i) Σχινιας=Schinias location, north east of Athens, near the Olympic Rowing Center in Marathonas (the place of the start of the Athens Classic Marathon event!). The most popular place for tri-events in Athens area. Distanced about 40 min by car from Athens International Airport.

ii) Αθηνα=Athens (see (i) )

iii) Βολος=Volos, city in the central east coast area of Greece, around 3 hours drive north of Athens at the bottom of Pelion mountain . Great place for magical views with lots of uphills and fantastic green landscape and an attractive place for international travellers all year around. This is the place I am coming from and I choose for vocations every summer, so I will definitely put it down on my race list!

iv) Καλαματα=Kalamata, small city south west of Peloponissos, about 5 hours drive from Athens.

v)Αστρος=Astros, east side of Peloponissos. Pretty hot windless area, so be aware of heat and humidity, but conveniently located close to Athens (less than 2 hours drive towards south).

vi) Λιμνη Δοξα= Doxa Lake, located north centrer within the interior of Peloponissos. Fantastic landscape, great place for countryside type vocations. I will seriously consider one of these places on my race list.

vii) Καβαλα=Kavala, city north of Greece, about 2 hours drive east from Thessaloniki


For more info and updates, please check from time to time the corresponding organiser's website address (seen at the end of each line on the upper list) or www.3athlon.gr .

Ladies and Gentlemen warm up you engines!
