Limassol Marathon
20 Feb 2011 to 27 Feb 2011
The Limassol Marathon held in February is a fantastic event and one well worth combining with a holiday on the fantastic island of Cyprus.
Not only is there a marathon, but there is also a half marathon, a 10k run, a corporate run and a 2k kids fun run to choose from, if you’re not up for the full Limassol marathon distance. All the events take place in the same area on the same day, the 20th February. Plus there’s a Gala Meal on the Sunday night after the races.
And it that’s not enough for you, then everyone signing up for our week in Cyprus, is also entitled to join the Running Training Camp for free! There’s a programme led by UK Athletics Coach Alan Newton, plus Eamonn Martin will be there too. Plus a Goody bag for all participants.
In 2010, the Limassol Marathon had participants from all over the World including Greece, England, Russia, Poland, Romania, Germany, Austria, Italy, Finland, Lebanon, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kenya, Ethiopia and many more. The winner of the Limassol Marathon covered the distance in 2.13.29, with the half marathon winner putting in a time of 1.04.19. The course itself is pretty flat along the coastal road and never far from the sea front.
Cyprus is the third largest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Many International sports organizations have recognized Cyprus as an ideal training destination due to the good weather, plus there are some fantastic historical and mythical places to visit and superb beaches to relax on. Plus Cyprus has a wonderful mix of food and drink options.
Limassol itself is the largest seaside resort in Cyprus with plenty of places to visit and only 10 miles from the Troodos Mountains.
