SUMMARY:Run Messinia 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Greek rebellion against the Ottoman Empire\, 200 years ago\, marked the end of slavery\, reclaiming the most valuable asset for Greeks\, their freedom. Historical battles of the national liberation efforts took place in the Messinian land and decisive naval battles effectively sealed the end of the Revolution and led to the freedom of Greece\, resulting in the national rebirth and the establishment of the modern Greek state. \nRun Messinia is an ultramarathon race of a total distance of approximately 421 kilometers\, a tribute to the important events and unforgettable battles of the heroes of 1821. On October 2-11\, 2021\, during the “Run for Freedom” edition\, 10 athletes per route will attempt to run 10 marathons in total\, in 10 consecutive days\, crossing historical places and monuments of Messinia\, Laconia and Arcadia\, which are related to the Greek revolution. \nRun Messinia is committed to never forgetting all those sacrificed during the Revolution of 1821 and promises to spread the stories of heroes who honored and defended the right of all people to live with dignity in a fair and peaceful world. \nThe 10 historical routes of Run for Freedom\nThe Messinian land constitutes a special and historic place for the Greek Revolution of 1821. For this reason\, the event aims to highlight the history of all the areas associated with the Greek Revolution in Messinia both culturally and touristically. \nRun for Freedom will start its 1st route from Areopoli of the East Mani Municipality\, pass through Stoupa of the West Mani Municipality and end in Kardamyli. The 2nd route\, starting from Kardamyli\, will pass through Verga of the Kalamata Municipality and end in the city of Kalamata. In the 3rd route\, the athletes starting from Kalamata will cross Nedousa and finish in Alagonia. During the 4th route of Run Messinia\, the runners starting from Alagonia will pass through Dyrachio and Neochori of the Megalopoli Municipality and complete their effort in Poliani of the Kalamata Municipality. From Poliani\, during the 5th route\, participants will cross Skala and end up in Paloukorahi of the Oichalia Municipality.  \nThe 6th route will highlight historical places of the Oichalia Municipality\, as the athletes starting from Paloukorahi will cross Katsarou\, Solaki\, Meropi\, Loutro\, Diavolitsi\, Ano Psari\, Dorio and end up at the statue of Kolokotronis in Ramovouni. \nIn the 7th route starting from Ramovouni\, the runners will pass through Zerbisia of the Messini Municipality\, Kalogeresi\, Saint Nikitas Sellas and Tripyla of the Trifylia Municipality\, in order to reach Maniaki of the Pylos-Nestor Municipality.

The 9th route will move exclusively within the Pylos-Nestor Municipality from Koroni\, to Methoni and then to Pylos. The 10th and final route of Run for Freedom starting from Pylos\, will provide runners with the opportunity of passing through Neokastro\, observing Sphacteria and Paleokastro\, while crossing Kremmidia and Schinolakka. \n The valuable support of the Municipalities\nThe partnered Municipalities supporting Run Messinia and contributing to the event’s smooth implementation are the following\, in Greek alphabetical order: East Mani Municipality\, West Mani Municipality\, Kalamata Municipality\, Megalopoli Municipality\, Messini Municipality\, Oichalia Municipality\, Pylos-Nestor Municipality\, Trifylia Municipality.  \nRun Messinia will leave a legacy for the future of the place\, as it has already started highlighting and promoting through its social media\, the historical places\, the battles and all the monuments\, which are located in the three regions and through which runners will pass. \nThe event will be held under the auspices of the Greek National Tourism Organization.
