Paphos Athletic Events
Paphos Logicom Marathon
We are proud to support the annual charity event, Logicom Cyprus Marathon, with our own teams, as well as accommodating athletes from all over the world. Dedicated to Paphos-born Stelios Kyriakides – who won the Boston Marathon in 1946 and used his new-found fame to help provide money, food and shelter to the Greeks affected by World War II and the Greek Civil War – it’s a mostly flat course that weaves from the birthplace of Aphrodite along stunning coastal terrain and through idyllic Cypriot villages to the Paphos Medieval Fort Square, just a short walk from Annabelle. Here, complimentary beers, juices and fruit greet finishers alongside entertainment, massages, medals, and sea swims in a festival-like atmosphere. Further marathon package perks include a technical t-shirt, energy gels, fluid stations every 3km, chip timing, and a weekend bus pass. Additional shorter distance events include a Half-Marathon, 10km Road Race and 5km Fun Run.
