In the endurance race – a total of 118 kilometers -, the winners were Nikiforos Arvanitou and Katerini Eleftheriadou.

Then they turned right towards Chalandritsa and passed through most of the incomparably beautiful villages of the Prefecture of Achaia to end at the Historical Monastery of Agia Lavra.
