2-STAGE LONG | 35 km
The two LONG stages of Archipelago Trail Run are the heart of the island trail running experience. The routes lead along wild coastal paths, across open views and through Mediterranean landscapes, where endurance becomes freedom and time allows for a deeper connection with the islands.
Both stages are dynamic and feature varied, technical terrain by the sea, along island ridges, and over rocky ground. Each section of the course reveals a different layer of the landscape, new views, and its own island story.
Two stages are available — you can run one or both.
