Take off to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea! ๐ Of course, we're not suggesting you dive into swimming ๐โโ๏ธ just yet (although, that depends on our events). We promise that at the Limassol Marathon, you'll be running on solid ground! ๐โโ๏ธ Not just anywhere, either. You'll be setting your bags down on the enchanting island of Cyprus! ๐งณ Impressive, right? What's even more enticing is that the marathon will be held in Limassol, one of the island's most vibrant cities! ๐ We know youโre eager to start, so let's dive into what awaits you ๐.
As you've likely figured out, it's a road race in the heart of the Mediterranean that weโre offering today! ๐ And who said there was only one race? Not at all! Beyond the OPAP marathon, this March weekend ๐ also features the Muskita half marathon ๐, the Petrolina 10 km Energy Race, and the Axlebolt 5 km City Race! ๐คฉ It's basically a starter pack for a fantastic getaway with all your friends and family! ๐ฅณ For those who prefer a more corporate challenge, thereโs also the Primetel 5 km Corporate Race on Saturday to challenge you with your colleagues ๐ป. If you opt for the marathon, expect an extraordinary race that takes you exclusively along the coast, "facing the sea" ๐ถ as the great Calogero would sing! ๐๏ธ The course is flat, fast, and has no turns ๐ช, making it an ideal opportunity to break your personal record! โฑ๏ธ The Limassol Marathon promises to be an unforgettable experience ๐ญ, and the organizers have chosen the perfect time for you to run! ๐ค In March, Cyprus enjoys mild temperatures ๐ก๏ธ and plenty of sunshine! ๐ If you're tired of cloudy and unpredictable weather in some European cities, this adventure is perfect! ๐
Running is great, but are you familiar with Cyprus? ๐๏ธ Beyond the race, the island is a treasure trove! It's filled with ancient ruins ๐๏ธ. In Limassol, if you love historical sites ๐, you can visit the Curium or the Kolossi Castle! ๐ฐ If you're a castle enthusiast, Limassolโs castle also houses the Cypriot Museum of the Middle Ages ๐. It showcases household items, weapons, and other artifacts ๐ that chart Cyprus's cultural development from the 3rd to the 18th century ๐ฉโ๐ซ. For more sightseeing, museums like the Archaeological Museum and an art gallery await! ๐จ As a sports enthusiast, you'll be glad to know there are many spots for training or leisurely walks โ๏ธ. It's also a chance to meet athletes from around the world drawn to 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 .
