Route

The race begins at Foinikoudes, in front of Larnaka Town Hall. From there, runners head east, turning right at the end of Foinikoudes, continuing on the right side of the road until they reach the first turning point at the 5 km mark, before the roundabout by Larnaca Beach House. Next, runners go along Larnaka-Dhekelia Avenue on the right side of the road, heading toward the Livadia roundabout. After a right turn and another 500 meters, they hit the second turning point, leading them towards Larnaca Harbour roundabout. Heading into the city, runners pass through Makariou Avenue and Zinonos Kitieos, reaching the historic St. Lazarus Church, showcasing the charming city centre. From St. Lazarus church, runners go through the Turkish Cypriot neighborhoods, ending up on Piale Pasa, one of Larnaka’s scenic coastal roads. From Piale Pasa runners head east and repeat the route up to the 28.5 km mark. At this point, runners continue west along Artemidos Avenue, passing the famous Salt Lake and reaching the mosque of Hala Sultan Teke, which marks the third turning point. The runners will then head towards Larnaka Airport roundabout and continue until they reach the final turning point of the race to return to the coastal avenue of Piale Pasa, pass the city’s Medieval Castle and finish the race at Foinikoudes, in front of Larnaka Town Hall.
