Cyprus offers an incredible variety of terrain, along the coast and on the mountains, and a number of new races on both road marathons and trails have become more popular making it an excellent destination for running and training!
Time to get those running shoes on and put your best foot forward! Cyprus is laced with an incredible network of marathon races that would be designated as “cross-country” since they are easier and less technical than the trail, but equally fun and offer stunning views and authentic experiences of many parts of Cyprus.
