Can a marathon runner, used to long distances, run a fast, vertically uphill course of 650m? Here is the first challenge!

Participation in Vertical Speed is mandatory for athletes interested in qualifying for the Taygetos Challenge. The ranking score is calculated by combining the results of the Vertical which takes place on Saturday and one of the Sunday’s runs (Marathon, Experience & Basic).

ATTENTION! You do not pay extra for Vertical Speed, it is built into the cost of the other races. The 10€ fee is ONLY for cases where someone wants to run ONLY the vertical.
