The event in a few words

Imagine yourself running under a bright blue sky, along the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, beside the majestic palm trees of Finikoudes avenue ๐ŸŒž. 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 ๐Ÿชจ, where legend has it that bathing in the waters around this rock could rejuvenate you or bring love โค๏ธ. But don't expect a miracle right after a marathon... ๐Ÿ‘€

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 ๐Ÿฆฉ cheering you on with their wing beats ๐Ÿชฝ. 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 ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ. Prefer a more "reasonable" distance? The half-marathon offers the perfect balance between the joy of effort and the beauty of the scenery ๐Ÿ˜. 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 ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Plus, don't forget the corporate 5 km race, because running with colleagues is also a great way to show who's the best โšก๏ธ.

After crossing the finish line, you can explore Larnaca like a true tourist ๐Ÿ“ธ. 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 ๐ŸŒŠ and golden sands ๐Ÿ–๏ธ will help you forget that you just ran a half-marathon (or a 5 km; it's all the same, right? โ˜บ๏ธ). To dive into history, the Stavrovouni Monastery offers stunning views of the city ๐ŸŒ†. For history enthusiasts, the Pierides Museum is full of ancient treasures, although we bet you'll be more interested in the ice cream afterwards ๐Ÿฆ. And speaking of food, try the mezze, those small dishes that let you travel through creamy hummus, grilled halloumi ๐Ÿง€, and tasty keftedes ๐Ÿคค. To end on a sweet note, treat yourself to warm loukoumades, those golden doughnuts drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon ๐Ÿฅ .

So, lace up your sneakers and join us in Larnaca; trust us, you won't be disappointed! ๐Ÿฅต
