17K Kourion Race – Run Through History
The 17K Kourion Race takes runners on a unique journey through the history and landscape of Kourion Municipality.
Starting at the Ancient Stadium, the route initially heads downhill before moving through flatter sections and past some of the area's historic landmarks, including the Ancient Theatre and Kolossi Castle, continuing towards Alphamega Stadium.
The biggest challenge comes during the final 4–5 kilometres, with a sustained climb towards Kouris Dam, where runners will reach the spectacular finish.
And the finish is something special. Every 17K finisher will receive a unique, specially designed double-tiered, gold-plated medal, featuring beautiful images of the Ancient Theatre and Kolossi Castle — a lasting reminder of a race through history.
This is more than a race — it is a journey through history, nature and community.
