Are You Ready to Do the Hellathlon Madness?
Are you Ready to Fight for Immortality?

Hellathlon Madness

Hellathlon Madness is an opportunity of a lifetime to test what you’re made of, your endurance, and stoicism in extreme poly sports, including ultra cycling, climbing, coastal rowing, and ultra-running. This unforgettable experience occurs in the cradle of civilization, Greece.

This brutal endurance challenge has tons of excitement, fatigue, pain, blood, and tears. It is an extreme challenge mix for the poly sports athletes through its 1800 km and 20,000 meters elevation course across Greece. The participants will be cycling uphill routes to reach ancient sacred temples, sanctuaries, and monasteries, cycling across vineyards, and olive groves, ascending and descending the nearly 3,000 meters of Mt. Olympus, cycling across historic cities of Thessalonica, Pella, Thebes, Athens, Piraeus, Sparta, ancient Olympia, running a 55 km ultramarathon from historic Marathon to Piraeus and rowing 20 km and 63 km coastal regattas in the Thermaikos gulf in Thessaloniki and from Piraeus to the temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion respectively. This extreme poly challenge is not just a typical marathon, cycling, climbing, or rowing course. It is a much more vicious, exciting, spectacular, and bloodier provocation.

This extreme poly challenge is not just a typical marathon, cycling, climbing, or rowing course. It is a much more vicious, exciting, spectacular, and bloodier provocation.

 

This extreme challenge is only for crazy and bold people willing to be battered every minute, hour, and day with the cruel defiance of their bodies and thoughts in unforgiving temperatures and extreme terrains while cycling roads and mountains and fighting the sea.

Hellathlon Madness poly athletes need to use tons of adrenaline for long periods and deal with the mental fatigue that comes from being on their feet, bike, or rowing boat for these extended periods. Indeed, this challenge is vicious and brutal.

The participants can only use what they take with them or what they can find en route at commercially available services. The organizers of Hellathlon Madness undertake the setup of the daily navigational guidelines, the logistics of the provision of the coastal boats, escorts at the roads and sea, breakfasts, mid-day lunches, dinners, and sleeping accommodations during the approximately 23 days of the race.

Hellathlon Madness begins every summer. The participation fee in the 19-day Hellathlon Madness is 3,500 euros per participant. The deadline for registration is May. For your registration and further information, contact Georgios Ardavanis via his email at georgeardavanis@gmail.com.

The participants must bring their equipment, such as bicycles,
and their gear for climbing, trekking, running, and rowing.

The Ardavanis Sat Laboratory engineering team remains strict in designing for the rigors of the CubeSat environment. In addition to designing in advance for lighter weight and tighter requirements, Ardavanis Sat Laboratory performs the required analysis to ensure each subsystem is deployed and passes all pre-flight requirements. This has made Ardavanis Sat Laboratory a reliable designer and manufacturer of CubeSat subsystems for CubeSat payloads. These assemblies are circuit card form factors that fit up/down conversion, RF filtering, amplification, LNAs, and switching in unprecedented package sizes of small size, weight, and power to achieve SWaP objectives.
