Welcome to the Hellenic Mountain Race, an 880km fixed route, unsupported, single-stage cycling race through the mountains of Greece. With nearly 28,000 metres of climbing in some of the most remote landscapes in Greece, riders are in for an adventure.

Allan Shaw reports live from registration, catching up with riders as they get checked in and locked in for the journey ahead. Last year’s edition was characterized by less than ideal weather and the unknowns that come with a first edition. With some revisions to the route and better conditions, we look forward to seeing how the race takes shape.

Tune in tomorrow to hear how riders fair on the first day of their journey from Meteora to Nafpaktos.
