Run through Paphos, the birthplace of Aphrodite, where every kilometre of the route is shaped by ancient mythology and Mediterranean coastline. Held in early Spring since 1999, this is one of the most atmospheric running destinations in Europe.

Choose from a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km or 5km. Every course is professionally measured and chip-timed, with marshals and aid stations along the way.

Whatever distance you take on, you'll cross the finish line with a fantastic medal designed especially for your race, and the satisfaction of having run somewhere truly special. Age-group trophies go to the top three men and women in categories up to 60+ (in Marathon and Half Marathon).

The field draws thousands of runners from more than 65 countries — Cyprus, the UK, Germany, Poland, Hungary, France and beyond — making it as much a multicultural celebration as a competition. The route passes the harbour and Paphos' UNESCO-listed archaeological sites, with mild February temperatures providing ideal racing conditions.

The atmosphere carries long after the finish, with a strong community of runners who return year after year. Winter sun, a great run, and plenty of fun — the perfect excuse for a late February escape.
