Cyprus Marathon 2026

Welcome to the new running show: figures Cyprus and letters kilometers! 🤓

The best episode of the series takes place in the month of March in the city of Pafos and is called TUI Cyprus Marathon, also known as Cyprus Marathon! 🏃‍♀️ If you are looking for a marathon on a paradise island, you are in the right place! 🏝️ Plus, in March in Cyprus, temperatures range from 8°C to 18°C 🌡️. Perfect to enjoy the coast ☀️, but also to stretch your legs on one of the distances! 🦵 In fact, 5 races are offered: a marathon, a half-marathon, a road race of 10 km, a "5 km Sunset Run" and a "Wine Run" of 4 km! 👣 Shores of the Mediterranean Sea, authentic villages, mountain and nature... 🍃 It's a beautiful mix that will paint the backdrop of your race course 😎. 

We know you're a bit curious so we'll tell you more about these famous courses starting from Pafos Castle 🗺️... Well, almost all! The main event of the Cyprus Marathon (the marathon 😅) is not a loop, but a point-to-point race! ➡️ You'll start at the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty 🥰. A perfect start to fall in love with running once the race begins! Legend even says that if you swim at midnight near the cliffs of Pétra Tou Romiou, you will experience eternal love! 💞 Of course, that's just a legend. Our mission is for you to sign up for the Cyprus Marathon and have the best time ever 🌎. Finding true love is a bonus! 😝 Ah, you're laughing, but we'll talk again after you've tried it! 💪 All race courses are along the coast, so you can lose yourself in the blue of their eyes of the sea 🌊. We imagine you already taking deep breaths of fresh air and enjoying this smooth course to attempt setting your new PR! 🕞 Beware of the 220 m elevation gain of the marathon that might sting your calves 😬. It will be much easier to shave off minutes on the half-marathon, the 10 km, and the 5 km which are out-and-back routes on flat terrain! 🤩 Yes, we're always trying to charm you 😂. In fact, if you see planes flying above your head, it's not a private jet coming to your rescue... No, you're just passing by one of the three airports of Cyprus 🛬.

During your stay, you'll have the chance to visit some amazing places! 🏘️ Among our favorites are Pafos Archaeological Park, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval castle 🗿, the Agios Neophytos Monastery, and of course, the bay where Aphrodite was born! With all that, you can also enjoy the magnificent scenery offered by the beaches and blue water. At the end of your marathon, you'll only want one thing: to swim! 🏊‍♀️ Remember to extend your trip until Tuesday to enjoy the "Wine Run" 🍇. This race takes place in the village of Letymbou and offers you the opportunity to discover the Cypriot terroir by tasting the local cuisine and the wines of the country! 😋
