A fun 300m race specially for our kindergarten children. Every young runner gets the chance to experience the excitement of race day, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd places for girls and boys.

600m Primary School Races
Our 600m races are divided into three age groups:

1st & 2nd Primary School

Children can register online or on the spot, while places are available. The entry fee is €5.

And when the running is finished, the fun isn't over! Children can join our free scooter and roller-skate fun activity. Non-electric scooters only. Children must bring their own helmet and appropriate safety equipment to participate.

1,500m YOUTH & ADULT RACE

The 1,500m is a race for young athletes and adults who want to challenge themselves over a fast and exciting distance.

The youth categories include:

Secondary School: 12–14 years

Registration is available on the spot, subject to available race numbers. If all numbers have been allocated, runners may still take part for the cause by paying the entry fee, but will run without an official race number and will not be eligible for a finishing podium position.

This is more than a distance. It is a journey through history.

The route takes runners past some of the area's most important historical landmarks, including the Ancient Stadium, Ancient Theatre and Kolossi Castle, before continuing towards Alphamega Stadium and gradually making its way to the spectacular finish at Kouris Dam, the largest dam in Cyprus.

Entry fee: €20
Online registration required.

For runners looking for a real challenge, the 17K offers something you won't find in an ordinary road race — you run through history and finish surrounded by nature.
