Take flight to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea! ๐ Of course, we're not suggesting you start swimming just yet ๐โโ๏ธ (though that depends on our events); we promise that at the Limassol Marathon, you'll be running firmly on solid ground! ๐โโ๏ธ And not just any ground, you'll be setting foot on the beautiful island of Cyprus! ๐งณ Sounds impressive, right? What's even more enticing is knowing that the marathon rendezvous is set in Limassol, one of the island's most popular cities! ๐ We know you're eager, so now that we've set the scene, let's dive into what awaits you ๐.
As you've probably guessed, we're offering you a road race in the heart of the Mediterranean today! ๐ Who said there's only one race? You're right, there won't just be the marathon during this March weekend ๐. Like other legendary 42 km events, the Limassol Marathon also offers a half-marathon ๐, a 10 km, and a 5 km! ๐คฉ That's a starter pack to bring all your loved ones for an unforgettable trip! ๐ฅณ For those who prefer running with colleagues, there's also a 5 km event on Saturday for challenging yourself with your company ๐ป. If you choose the marathon, expect a remarkable race that takes place exclusively along the coast.๐๏ธ The course is flat, fast, and has no turns ๐ช, making it a great chance to achieve a personal best! โฑ๏ธ The Limassol Marathon promises to be an event offering an unforgettable experience ๐ญ, and the organizers couldn't have chosen a better time for it! ๐ค Indeed, in Cyprus in March, the temperatures are mild ๐ก๏ธ, and the sun is shining bright! ๐ If you're tired of the clouds and unpredictable weather of some European cities, this adventure is a perfect fit! ๐
Running is great, but how familiar are you with Cyprus? ๐๏ธ Besides the race, this site is a treasure trove! The island is filled with ancient ruins ๐๏ธ, and in Limassol, if you're interested in historical relics ๐, you can visit the Curium or the Kolossi Castle! ๐ฐ If you love castles, there's also Limassol Castle, which houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum ๐. It displays household items, weapons, and other artifacts ๐, tracing Cyprus's cultural evolution from the 3rd to the 18th century ๐ฉโ๐ซ. For more sightseeing, you can also visit museums, including the archaeological museum and an art gallery! ๐จ As a good athlete, you can bet there are plenty of places to train or take a walk โ๏ธ. You'll also have the chance to meet other athletes from around the world running the Limassol Marathon! ๐บ๏ธ
You made a great choice by opting for the Marathon; we promise you won't be disappointed, quite the opposite! ๐ฅ The race kicks off at 7:30 AMโฐ with the sun rising over the sea! ๐ That's going to be your main companion throughout the run, as the course follows the coastline entirely! ๐ You'll start from the Molos promenade, right in the heart of Limassol, heading initially towards the West ๐จ. After 10 km, you'll reach the vicinity of Trachรณni and it will be time to turn back! ๐ But don't rush, it's not a straight shot to the finish line ๐ข<๐; you've got quite a few more kilometers to go ๐โโ๏ธ. Next, you'll head East past Limassol for 20 km until you reach รgios Thychonas๐๏ธ. Once there, it's finally time to turn around and enjoy those last few kilometers leading you to the finish line ๐.
The Half Marathon is slightly less demanding than a full marathon, as you might expect! ๐ฝ Get ready for an exciting coastal adventure ๐ฅ. Known for its speed and flat tracks, it's the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself and try to beat your personal best โฑ๏ธ.
Get ready to tackle an intense 5 km run ๐โโ๏ธ. Enjoy the ocean views, but hold on tight so you don't get swept away ๐ฆ .
