Over the past few weeks, we've been quietly sending something rather special to the runners, companions and team members joining us for the inaugural edition of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 this September.

We called it 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞.

What began as a practical way of answering questions about luggage, race equipment, navigation and life during a multi-stage event gradually became something much more.

As this is our very first Mythical Odyssey, we wanted the Guide to do more than simply prepare everyone for race week. Across five chapters, we've also tried to introduce our Odysseans to the kind of experience we're hoping to create together in Greece.

And when we reached the final chapter, one thought seemed to capture everything we'd been trying to create from the beginning.

So we made it the heart of the cover you see here. ❤️

In just a few weeks, we'll find out.

Before you arrive, we’ve been finding the perfect places for you to rest, recover and simply enjoy being in Greece. 🇬🇷

Because after a day on the trails, where you sleep matters too. 😊

A little comfort, a beautiful setting, time to recharge... and perhaps a little tipple before tomorrow’s adventure begins. 😉🍷

Before you arrive, there’s a whole other side of Mythical Odyssey you don’t usually get to see. 😄

Behind every route, every decision and every detail are countless hours on the road, plenty of problem-solving... and quite a lot of laughter along the way.

Because creating an adventure should be an adventure too. 🇬🇷❤️

Before revealing the sixth and final stage of 𝑴𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑶𝒅𝒚𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒚 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚, we would like to share a milestone that means a great deal to us.

From the very beginning, we made a conscious decision that Mythical Odyssey would never be about numbers. It would be about people.

Our dream was never to organise a large race, but to create an intimate journey through some of Greece's most extraordinary landscapes, shared by a small community of like-minded adventurers.

We are delighted to share that all available places for our inaugural edition were filled by the end of June, with registrations for 2026 closing shortly afterwards.

To everyone who has placed their trust in us, thank you. We cannot wait to welcome you to Greece this September.

Every great journey deserves an unforgettable ending.

And now, it is time to reveal the final chapter of your odyssey.

After six extraordinary days exploring the mythical landscapes of Meteora, Mount Olympus and Mount Pelion, our Odysseans will embark on one final journey through one of Greece's most spectacular and unspoilt regions.

The eastern slopes of Mount Pelion offer an astonishing contrast of emerald forests, ancient stone paths and hidden coves where the mountain meets the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Far removed from the crowds, these timeless trails reveal a side of Greece that remains beautifully authentic and largely undiscovered.

As the route unfolds, runners will pass through the enchanting village of Tsagarada before descending towards the tiny harbour of Damouchari, a place known around the world as the filming location of the iconic "Dancing Queen" scene from 𝑴𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒂!

Here, fiction meets reality.

The music may have faded long ago, but the magic remains.
Just a few steps beyond the harbour, the finish line awaits on the beach itself, where the turquoise waters of the Aegean gently wash onto the shore beneath the green slopes of Pelion.

There can surely be few finish lines in the world that offer such a reward.

After crossing the line, our runners will celebrate their achievement exactly as every weary adventurer should: with a refreshing swim in the Aegean Sea, followed by a well-earned seaside lunch overlooking one of Greece's most iconic hidden gems.

This is not simply the end of a race.
It is the completion of an odyssey.
A journey through mythology, history, mountains, forests and sea.
One that will remain with you long after the finish line has disappeared behind you.

With registrations continuing to arrive and only a handful of places now remaining, we would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has already joined us on this adventure. Your trust, encouragement and support mean more to us than words can express. Efxharisto 🙏

For those still considering it, this is your opportunity to discover a side of Greece that few visitors ever experience: ancient trails, timeless villages and breathtaking landscapes far beyond the usual tourist routes.

Today, we continue our journey through 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐲 by revealing Stage 5 of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Our adventure now reaches its third and final destination: the magnificent Mount Pelion, a land steeped in mythology and blessed with extraordinary natural beauty.

According to ancient Greek legend, Pelion was the homeland of the wise Centaur Chiron, teacher of heroes such as Achilles, Jason and Asclepius. It was a place where knowledge, healing and heroic virtue were nurtured, making it one of the most legendary mountains of Greece.

Far from the usual tourist routes, Pelion remains one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Here, lush green mountains plunge into the crystal waters of the Aegean Sea, time slows down, and tradition lives quietly in stone-built villages and ancient footpaths. It is a place where mountain and sea coexist in perfect harmony, creating one of the most enchanting landscapes in the country.

During this stage, runners will have the unique opportunity to pass through two of Greece’s most iconic traditional villages, Makrinitsa and Portaria. They will experience their authentic architecture, charming cobbled streets and spectacular views stretching across both the Aegean Sea and the Pagasetic Gulf.

Despite its relatively modest elevation of 1,624 metres, Mount Pelion receives significant snowfall during winter and is even home to a ski resort. Standing between two seas, it possesses a unique character found nowhere else in Greece.

Comfortable dirt roads and flowing forest trails winding through magnificent beech forests will allow runners to fully absorb the atmosphere, breathe the fresh mountain air and experience the magic of this hidden corner of Greece.

This is Pelion. A place of myth, beauty and timeless authenticity.
