Following the success of the previous years, the Cyclades Trail Cup (CTC) 2018 once again will host a number of trail running races in alternative destinations of the Cyclades island group, while also presenting new routes and exciting cultural experiences.

Focusing on some of the small Cycladic islands, the 2018 championship will kick off in May with races on Kimolos and then continue on to Folegandros, Ios, Andros, Kythnos and Tinos.

According to the organizers, all athletes who finish at least one race, regardless of the distance, are eligible to receive points, based on the new CTC PointSystem. The athlete with the highest score, at the end of the year will be named winner of the Cyclades Trail Cup 2018.

In 2017 the Naxos Trail Race, the Amorgos Trail Challenge and the Donousa Mountain Run were added.
