8th Dromos Mousouron — Half Marathon, 10K and 4K

Three races down through the Mousoures villages to one finish at Meskla: half marathon 08:00, 10K 10:00, 4K 10:15.

The Municipality of Platanias hands its greenest valley over to runners for a morning, and three races come down it to the same finish line in Meskla. The half marathon goes first from the Fournes bridge at 08:00, the 10K from Skines square at 10:00, and the 4K, which is the one to bring children to, from the Fournes bridge at 10:15. It is a point-to-point road course through Fournes, Skines and Meskla, orange groves most of the way with the White Mountains standing over the top of them, and it is a genuinely beautiful route rather than a lap of a stadium. Register online through atpro.gr, or in person on the Saturday evening before, 17:00 to 20:00 at the Mousoures municipal office in Alikianos. Buses from the Chania KTEL station out to the start lines and back again are free.
