Larnaca International Marathon 2025

Imagine yourself running under a bright blue sky, along the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, beside the majestic palm trees of Finikoudes avenue 🌞. Welcome to the Radisson Blu Larnaca International Marathon, the must-attend sporting event in Cyprus in November! According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was born on the island's western coast. If you want to feel a bit more "divine," you can even visit the famous Rock of Aphrodite 🪨, where legend has it that bathing in the waters around this rock could rejuvenate you or bring love ❤️. But don't expect a miracle right after a marathon... 👀

Looking for a challenge? Get ready to tackle the 42.195 km, where you'll be surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, including the Salt Lake and its flocks of pink flamingos 🦩 cheering you on with their wing beats 🪽. Between the palm-lined avenues, the ancient ruins of Kition, and the stunning coastal views, each kilometer will remind you why you laced up your running shoes 👟. Prefer a more "reasonable" distance? The half-marathon offers the perfect balance between the joy of effort and the beauty of the scenery 😍. If you're really looking to enjoy yourself and maybe even set a personal record, the 10 km will be your ideal playground. And for those who just want a carefree run, there's a 5 km option 🙃. Plus, don't forget the corporate 5 km race, because running with colleagues is also a great way to show who's the best ⚡️.

After crossing the finish line, you can explore Larnaca like a true tourist 📸. Wander through the old town, where cafes offer a well-deserved break (with a strong Cyprus coffee to recharge your energy). If you want to relax, head to Mackenzie Beach, where the waves 🌊 and golden sands 🏖️ will help you forget that you just ran a half-marathon (or a 5 km; it's all the same, right? ☺️). To dive into history, the Stavrovouni Monastery offers stunning views of the city 🌆. For history enthusiasts, the Pierides Museum is full of ancient treasures, although we bet you'll be more interested in the ice cream afterwards 🍦. And speaking of food, try the mezze, those small dishes that let you travel through creamy hummus, grilled halloumi 🧀, and tasty keftedes 🤤. To end on a sweet note, treat yourself to warm loukoumades, those golden doughnuts drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon 🥠.

So, lace up your sneakers and join us in Larnaca; trust us, you won't be disappointed! 🥵
