OITI MOUNTAIN BIKE - MAVROLITHARI
SEMI-MARATHON RACE (28km D+1065m)

Characteristics: Length: 28 km, elevation gain: 1065m.

Description: The start and finish of the race takes place at the village of Mavrolithari (altitude 1140m) at the southern foothills of Oitι and the entire route is through fir-covered forest roads and paths.
From the beautiful square of the village we go up a forest road to Profitis Elias. At 4.3km at the "Smaili" location we enter a path and meet a water source on our right. The almost flat path after 500m leads us to a forest road which we follow to the east. At 9km we again enter a path that will lead us to the location "Katavothra".
We enjoy the famous meadows of Oita with a view of Vardousia and climb slightly reaching the "Fire of Herakles" 46km (altitude 1560m) next to Xerovuni peak (1816m). We enter a downhill path for 2.9km and cross a vertical asphalt road (be careful here). We continue and reach the village of Pyra (water in a tap) at 20km. We continue carefully on the asphalt road to the west and at 22.4km we turn left (south) onto a downhill dirt road.
In 2km we turn right (west) and go on a forest road in the direction of Mavrolithari. We reach the south of the village and climb uphill to finish in its square after 28km.
