Ovidio Running returns to Loutraki for the 2nd Consecutive Year on November 3, 2024!

Ovidio Running is a unique sporting event held in European countries that promotes sports and culture, dedicated to the Latin poet "Publius Ovidius Naso." The countries where it takes place are significant to the poet's life.

The event is part of the European project Score, a collaborative initiative within the ERASMUS+ SPORT program aimed at developing an organizational model for sustainable, digital, inclusive sports events that are connected to the cultural characteristics of the local area. Ovidio Running includes a 9.7-kilometer race, a 2-kilometer walk, and a mini race for children up to 15 years old. In addition to the races, a series of cultural activities will be organized.

In May 2023, the first race started in Constanța, Romania, continued in Sulmona, Italy, from September 16 to 17, where SPORTCAMP actively participated in both cities. The final stop for 2023 was Loutraki, Greece. Thus, for the second year, the journey continues, concluding once again in 2024 in Loutraki.

The event in Loutraki will be held under the auspices of the Municipality of Loutraki-Perachora-Agioi Theodoroi. Co-organizers include SPORTCAMP, Homo Educandus Arogí, and the European project Score.

This is an exciting event for athletes looking to test their abilities and fitness levels.
