LarnacaTHE DREAM
An AIMS-certified and World Athletics-recognized race held in Paphos, Cyprus.
Starts near Petra tou Romiou and ends at Paphos Medieval Fort.
Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.
Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.
Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.
From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.
“This was my sixth time running the Logicom Cyprus Marathon, and it never gets old!”The runner ran the 2025 Logicom Cyprus Marathon for the sixth time and finished in 5 hours 11 minutes. The runner has always enjoyed the event, and running in a West Coast Runners vest during the race was an unforgettable experience.
“I would say that the finish by the sea near the castle and the surrounding scenery are the race's greatest strengths.”
At the 2023 Logicom Cyprus Marathon, the runner found the early sea views enjoyable, but the hills, long straight sections, roads shared with traffic, and sparse crowds cheering made the race difficult. The runner rated the coastal finish line and the aid stations and refreshments positively.
Quoted from the original · translated
Meta zawodów położona jest malowniczo nad morzem przy zamku i trzeba przyznać, że okolice mety i meta są największą zaletą tych zawodów.
Read the original on MaratonyPolskie.PL“I was able to suck it up and get through over half the race, whilst carrying an injury left me extremely proud of myself.”The runner took on their first full marathon at the 2019 Logicom Cyprus Marathon. After developing foot pain around 11 miles, the runner alternated between running and walking but finished the race, and recommends the scenery and organization.

The Cyprus Marathon is a road race that runs along the Mediterranean coast of Paphos, southwestern Cyprus.
Full marathon starts from Petra to Romeu, known as the birthplace of Aphrodite.
The official introduction presents the legend of the place, the coastal road, and Paphos' historic port as the backdrop for the competition.
The island's mythology and local heritage are layered on the game's route that follows the seascape.
The direction of travel for full marathon is from the departure point towards Paphos Port.
It is not a loop course that returns to the same place, but a method that connects the starting point on the coast and the finishing point in the city center.
The official course introduction explains that along the way you will pass through the traditional villages of Paphos and encounter Mediterranean hospitality.
It is a road race with distance markers placed along the route and run according to international athletics rules,
with a format that emphasizes cultural background while competing for records.
At Paphos Castle Square, the half marathon and 10km runs, as well as the 5km run at sunset, are also run.
The starting location and time for each event are different, and the spatial characteristics of full marathon,
which starts on the rocky coast, and those around the port are also distinct.
Full marathon We inform you that the male and female winners will be awarded crowns made of olive leaves from the Athens marathon.
It is a device that connects the symbols of ancient Greece to the current race and awards.
The key to explaining this competition lies in the coastal flow that runs from the legend of Petra to Romeu to the port of Paphos.
Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
