Hydra’s Trail Event returns once again this year, reaffirming its position as one of the most authentic and demanding trail running events in Greece. Set within the island’s unique natural and historical landscape, Hydra welcomes runners of all levels, offering an experience that blends sport, tradition, and genuine local hospitality.
The event continues to grow steadily thanks to the ongoing support of institutions, businesses, and individuals who play a vital role in making it possible. Their contribution goes beyond financial support and the provision of services; it helps create a complete framework that enhances the experience for participants while highlighting Hydra as an emerging destination for sports tourism.
The success of the event is shaped not only by its sponsors but also by the many supporters who actively contribute with their enthusiasm and willingness to help.
Companies and partners such as Saucony, Anthrax, De Socks, Neversecond, Ziouvas Logistics S.A. together with Olympos 1949, the juice bar To Vazakaki, the restaurants Stou Lefteraki and Psaropoula, the transport company Katsavelas, the stores Anargyrou Filitsa and Irida, the bakery To Stachy, Lavein Deli Nuts Bar, Funtopia, the supermarkets Bexis, Mitsiou, Rampia and AB Vasilopoulos, as well as the Valery Drakou Physiotherapy Center reward participants for their effort by offering their services and products.
At the same time, the Historical Archive – Museum of Hydra, where the race secretariat will be hosted, and the Holy Cathedral of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary of Hydra, whose conference center will host the technical briefing, contribute significantly to the successful organization of the races.
Equally important is the role of the transportation companies Hellenic Seaways, Magic Sea Ferries, Alpha Lines, and Hydra Lines, which ensure safe and smooth access to the island for both athletes and visitors.
The event’s promotion and communication are further strengthened through collaborations with reliable media outlets and specialized sports networks. ERT, ERA Sport, 102fm, Advendure, Runtrail, Athletics Sports & Magazine, and I Foni tis Ydras serve as the official media partners of Hydra’s Trail Event 2026.
A significant contribution also comes from the island’s accommodation providers, who support the event by offering complimentary hospitality services for partners and invited guests. In addition, the Merchant Marine Academy of Hydra provides its dormitories, making it possible to offer free accommodation to participating athletes.
This year’s supporting accommodations include the hotels Amaryllis, Angelica, Cottommatae 1810, Delfini, Faedra, Greco, Hydra, Hydroussa, Ippokampos, Leto, Miranda, Onos Hydra, Orloff, and Sidra, as well as guesthouses and short-term rental accommodations Alexandra, Alkionides, Arco, Athina, Earino, Efi, Erofili, Hydra Icons, Mare Nostrum, Mastoris, Psaropoula Guest House, and Ydragogi.
With the valuable assistance of the Kouloureio Hospital of Hydra and the Volunteer Fire Department of Hydra, the safety of the event is further reinforced, providing reassurance to both participants and visitors.
A special presence within the event is the Hellenic Association of People with Motor Neuron Diseases (ALS), whose participation serves as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the strength of human will and the value of life.
Hydra’s Trail Event is more than a trail running race. It is a collective initiative that highlights the importance of cooperation and local participation, shaping an event that leaves a meaningful footprint on the country’s sporting and tourism landscape.
The Organizing Committee warmly thanks everyone who contributes to the realization of the event and looks forward to welcoming participants and visitors for another dynamic two-day celebration in Hydra.
