5ο Rock Solid Kastellorizo

The 5th Rock Solid Kastellorizo is a small trail-running weekend held on Kastellorizo in late May. It includes 22 km, 10 km, 5 km and 1.3 km courses, all starting from the same point. The main 22 km course is mountainous, with significant climbing, and requires serious preparation, while the shorter courses offer a friendlier, more sociable atmosphere. The race is held under the auspices of the Hellenic Federation of Mountain Sports and offers medals, plaques and awards to winners and the first local finishers.

The 10 km race is limited to 50 runners and has a 2 hours 30 minutes cut-off. The 5 km race is limited to 80 participants, and the 1.3 km children's race is limited to 50 participants. Medals, age-category plaques, awards for the top three men and women overall, and a separate plaque for the first local finisher are provided. There are aid stations, medical support and course markings. May weather is warm, with an average temperature of 28°C and a chance of 30 mm of rain. The event includes medals, awards and souvenirs, with an emphasis on enjoying nature and the sporting experience.
