Women’s Sports & Adventure Event

Akron Travel provided comprehensive destination management, operational and logistical support for Défi d’Elles, a French women-focused outdoor sports and adventure event held in North Evia, Greece.

Bringing together around 100 women, the multi-day event combined mountain running, mountain biking, mixed running and cycling challenges, water activities and a HYROX-style fitness competition, with Club Med Gregolimano serving as the main event base.

Akron managed the complex on-the-ground requirements of the event, including:

• Route and terrain planning across North Evia
         • Coordination with Police, Forestry Department and local authorities
         • Transportation for athletes, volunteers and event staff
         • 4x4 operational support in remote mountain areas
         • Establishment and servicing of refreshment stations
         • Assistance in reopening mountain roads affected by adverse weather
         • Audio-visual and technical support
         • Supplier and local community coordination
         • On-site logistics, safety support and contingency management

Beyond sport, the event promoted women’s empowerment, solidarity, breast cancer awareness and environmental responsibility, making it an experience with a strong social and sustainable dimension.

This project demonstrates Akron Travel’s ability to deliver complex sporting, outdoor and experiential events in Greece, combining destination expertise, operational flexibility and hands-on event management.
