Limassol Marathon 2024 - Our View

Our view about the Limassol Marathon is either “go for it” or at least “go to it”.

With such an array of races, there’s something for everyone looking to participate. 

It’s also fair to say, as good as the other marathons are here in Cyprus, the fast and flat course offered in Limassol and the sheer scale of this event is unbeatable. 

People travel from around the world to participate, so perhaps it’s time to make 2024 the year you experience the Limassol Marathon weekend too. 

No matter what race you participate in, you’ll feel like a winner, and everyone who takes part walks away with a medal! Something to keep and treasure for years to come. 

And if running is not your thing, participating as a volunteer or spectator is a great idea, and we’re sure you’ll love the experience.
