The 2nd edition of the Naxos Mountain Bike Race will be hosted on Naxos Island on October 26. The technically challenging 22km route for adults goes through some of the island’s most significant ancient and  Byzantine monuments and sites.

Participants will start racing from the historically significant village of Sagri, they will pass through beautiful landscapes and encounter sightseeing highlights such as the magnificent ancient  Temple of Demeter (6th century B.C.) and the 17th century Timios Stavros monastery. The race also includes a separate category for teenagers (12 to 17 years old), an easier 13.5km route.
