1st International bikers race “Kalamata gravel challenge” / 8th to 10th May 2020
The race and related events are scheduled to take place during the weekend of May 8, 9 and 10 of 2020, with cyclists from many countries participating. In fact, they are already under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, due to its great tourist interest.
The main route will be 150 kilometers long and much of it will take place in the mountain range of the Municipality, while there will be two more routes, one of 75km and one of 35km.
Much of this racing is done on a dirt and gravel road, hence the term ‘gravel’ in the name of the race. It is considered a very difficult race challenging the endurance of the participants, because of the great mileage and also due to the mountainous relief of Kalamatas municipality.
However, the landscape of Kalamata and the wider mountainous area is ideal for such races and the city of Kalamata will be at the center of the race and other events …. what will make the participation not only a challenging but also a wonderful experience.
