Every year, the Hellenic Mountaineering Club of Kokkinopilos organizes a wide range of activities that combine nature, sports, culture, and environmental awareness. Our aim is to enable visitors to get to know Olympus and Kokkinopilos through authentic experiential activities that highlight the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
The club also actively and voluntarily participates in the organization of the major international mountain running Faethon Skyrace, which takes place every year on the second weekend of July in Kokkinopilos and attracts hundreds of athletes from around the world.
