HYPERKOPELI & e-HYPERCOPELI 2020

For the last 10 years, the “Orizondas” Sports Club has been organizing the “HYPERKOPELI” sports event to support children and adults suffering from cancer. A day filled with many activities, sports, entertainment, cultural, all in a spirit of mutual support and solidarity.

This year, the event is going…virtual*! With adaptations to today’s data, the well-known “Hyperkopeli” this year will become “e-perkopeli”, with the aim of once again exercising and at the same time helping our fellow human beings, who need our support, more than at any other time!

*What are Virtual Races? These are virtual races that anyone can participate from wherever they are, as long as they walk/run/swim/cycle a specific distance defined by the type of race and record it with a smart watch, band or a simple app on mobile

So the 1st virtual Amateur Triathlon Race “e-perkopeli” September 27th to October 4th. A race unlike any other, without qualifying positions and mandatory timing, where everyone is a winner!

Each participant chooses the day, the time (within the predetermined time period: 27/09-4/10/20) and the location (within and outside Greece) that they wish to complete their race. Specifically, 600m swimming, 25km cycling and 10km running. Entries are valid as long as, upon completion of the race, a recording from a smart watch, band or a simple mobile app is sent to the organization’s email:: yperkopelichania@gmail.com, which will be posted on the Organization’s Facebook page. Optional: photo (person, their equipment or location).

Cost of Participation: 15 euros donation to the “Horizon” Association.

• Participation includes: commemorative t-shirt of the Event, cap, bib number, waterproof mobile phone case, medal and commendation
• Group entries (3-4 people) with or without a disabled participant will be valid, with the possibility of creating a team, where the participants will be able to complete their race together or share the sports, even in different parts of Greece or other country.

Become the 1st virtual Supergirl and support the work of “Orizondas”!
