What to expect

Run through Paphos' rich history. This is the place where the legendary goddess Aphrodite was born. Every step of the marathon route is inspired by ancient mythology, taking runners on a journey where they can test their endurance against mythical landscapes.

On March 7 and 8, 2026, you can join thousands of people from around the world for an amazing running festival. Whatever event you choose, you'll get a medal to remember your achievement.

The experience continues after you finish the race. This event brings together runners from Cyprus, the UK, Germany, Poland and across the globe, fostering a strong sense of community. It's a chance to meet other people who love running in a beautiful place by the Mediterranean Sea.

Last but not least, this marathon will be so much more than just a race. It will be an opportunity to leave a lasting and positive mark on Cyprus: for every runner who completes the course, one tree will be planted in one of the villages along the route. This will help preserve the island’s natural beauty and support local communities long after the race is over.

Come for the run, stay for the amazing atmosphere, and go away with memories that will last forever.
