A few more words

You made a great choice by opting for the Marathon; we promise you won't be disappointed, quite the opposite! ๐Ÿ”ฅ The race kicks off at 7:30 AMโฐ with the sun rising over the sea! ๐ŸŒ… That's going to be your main companion throughout the run, as the course follows the coastline entirely! ๐ŸŒŠ You'll start from the Molos promenade, right in the heart of Limassol, heading initially towards the West ๐Ÿ’จ. After 10 km, you'll reach the vicinity of Trachรณni and it will be time to turn back! ๐Ÿ” But don't rush, it's not a straight shot to the finish line ๐Ÿข<๐Ÿ‡; you've got quite a few more kilometers to go ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Next, you'll head East past Limassol for 20 km until you reach รgios Thychonas๐Ÿ™๏ธ. Once there, it's finally time to turn around and enjoy those last few kilometers leading you to the finish line ๐Ÿ.
