Experience Summary

Make this Meteora marathon training weekend the first part of an inpirinig running aventure through Northern Greece. Over two days you and the group will work with a coach on useful technique: video analysis of your running technique, clear pointers that stick, and shared runs to get your training into a higher gear.

Meteora’s setting—cliff‑top monasteries set a beautiful landscape of winding roads— really is a stunning location to be working on your running.  After the weekend, our suggested route leads to Vikos Gorge and Corfu, then back via Delphi and Athens, where you can jog past the big sights and—when open—run a lap of the Panathenaic Stadium.

Experience Highlights

🎯 Training camp: Coach‑led sessions, short video analysis, practical technique tips, and a steady supported long run.

🏃 Run in Meteora: Quiet roads and paths with views of the UNESCO‑listed monasteries and rock towers.

⛰️ Mainland Greece (Zagori & Vikos): Cooler air, rolling terrain, short trail options, and big viewpoints.

🏖️ Corfu: Enjoy coastal mileage, shady lanes, and sea‑dips  after your run.

🏛️ Athens close‑out: Historic sightseeing, Acropolis-view cocktail bars, and the chance to lap the Panathenaic (Olympic) Stadium .
