The Olympus Ultra secretariat will be open on Thursday 27/6 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday 28/6 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The secretariat will be in the Municipal Park of Litochoro, and this is where you will receive your race pack.

Bag Drop

If you wish to find your personal items at aid station number 8, "Homatodromos" (km 40.4), please attach the Bag Drop tag to your bag and hand it over to the secretariat on Friday before 9 p.m. We suggest that you have your drop bag ready and hand it over to the secretariat when you receive your race pack. Drop bags that are not picked up, will be returned to Litochoro in the afternoon.

Baggage
If you wish to have any personal items waiting for you at the finish line in Litochoro, please attach the Baggage tag to your bag. You will be told where to leave the bag at the starting area in Dion in the morning. 

Departure for Dion

You will need this tag to board the race bus, which will be parked in front of the Maritime Museum of Litochoro, opposite “Gastrodromio” restaurant, and will depart for the race start line in Dion, on Saturday 29/6 at 3:15 a.m.
