Items That Need Clarification

1. Registration Closing Date Conflict

Two different deadlines appear:

  • Registrations open 1 July 2026 and close 28 March 2027
  • Section 6 states registration closes 2 May 2027

Only one closing date should be used.

2. Stage 5 Distance Conflict

The Stage 5 description states:

  • 14 km / 720 m D+

But the time-limit table states:

  • 18 km / 4:00 hrs

One of these figures is incorrect.

3. Stage 4 Distance Conflict

The stage description states:

  • 7 km

The time-limit table states:

  • 8 km

These should match.

4. Event Name Consistency

Several names are used throughout the document:

  • CORFU ODYSSEY STAGE TRAIL & HIKING
  • Corfu Odyssey Stage Trail
  • Corfu Mountain Trail Stage Race

For branding and marketing purposes, choose one official event name and use it consistently throughout the regulations and promotional material.

5. Total Distance

The introduction mentions:

approximately 70 km

The stage descriptions total 69 km, which is perfectly acceptable, but it may be worth stating:

“approximately 70 km across five stages”

for consistency.

Overall Assessment

The concept is strong because it combines:

  • Stage trail running
  • Guided hiking
  • Traditional villages
  • Mountain and coastal terrain
  • Cultural experiences
  • A social finish celebration

The route variety is particularly attractive: runners experience mountain ascents, technical descents, historical sites, olive groves, coastal scrambling, and iconic Corfu scenery within a single week.

The main task before launch is simply to remove the few distance and registration-date inconsistencies so that the race information, regulations, website, and registration system all match exactly.
