XTERRA’S Mediterranean tour continues at Vouliagmeni, the anchor point of the famed ‘Athens Riviera” home of the XTERRA Greece event was the site of the triathlon competition in the 2004 Olympic Games.
The city, is a perfect “island getaway” on Greece’s mainland because everything you can experience on a Greek island is right here— just a short drive from the city-center of Greece’s largest city. From world-class sandy beaches to scuba diving, to great “village” tavernas and stunning sea views and sunsets.
Competitors can expect some tough climbs, challenging and varied terrain, and water of about 19C (66F), with wetsuits optional. Both the bike and run courses feature great sets of steps that wind up the steep, Greek hills. The downhills are equally steep and incredibly fast. The race uses some side roads in Vouliagmeni that include bistros, restaurants, and of course, many cheering spectators.
