So not only the running trail goes vertical in Loutraki!

Runners are now joined by graphene token holders! Acquire and hold bitshares and steem (and "heros" of course!). All finishers share in the Prize!

25,000 in crypto prizes split between the top three finishers and everyone who stays the course and completes the race! You gotta be kidding!

I'm not kidding! It's the Real Deal. And you can pay for your plane tickets, hotel, food, all the good things in life in Loutraki with crypto!

If RedBull is involved, a nice big banner with the cryptocurrencies names and logo in the same area would give exposure to the cryptocurrencies involved as RedBull is one of the biggest extreme sports supporter right now, it has loads of hype behind it...

Just a thought. Thanks for doing this, it is awesome!!! Namaste :)

thank you very much! :) i am sure that you had a great time in Loutraki too ! so nice to meet you in our meeting in Monastiraki

My friend is a trail runner who recently ran the barclay marathon. It's like the most insane thing I've ever heard of. If you'd have an interest he knows how to apply. Your photos are awesome!

thank you! trail running is a challenging sport,but very exciting! i think you must love running and nature to do it :)

Yes or be a total masochist! Trail running is incredibly difficult at times.

Wow thats awesome now lets just set in an office and work like an oiless machine

thank you! it's a hard life...

If RedBull and @onceuponatime are involved, it has to be by definition a bullish event, right!?!

Great pictures in there, it almost makes me want to participate. I love this sort of thing. Thanks for sharing, namaste :)

yes!:) thank you very much!

MY PLEASURE REALLY, NAMASTE :)

Very nice

Any up to date info appreciated. I need to plan my travels to Loutraki, and I need reliable information on the date, etc. Where to find it?
