Limassol Marathon 2024 - Our View
Our view about the Limassol Marathon is either “go for it” or at least “go to it”.
With such an array of races, there’s something for everyone looking to participate.
It’s also fair to say, as good as the other marathons are here in Cyprus, the fast and flat course offered in Limassol and the sheer scale of this event is unbeatable.
