ARCHIVED RACE: Limassol Half Marathon GSO @ Molos, Limassol, Cyprus on 19 March 2017

The Limassol Half Marathon GSO is known for being flat and fast, covering long stretches of straight, traffic-free road, including the spectacular coastal road of greater Limassol. This makes it ideal for first time half marathon runners as well as for professional athletes looking to achieve a PB.

The 13.1 mile route takes runners from the palm tree-lined seafront of Molos, in the centre of Limassol, to the new port, the old harbour and the ancient ruins of the Royal City of Amathus, dating from 1100 BC. It stretches along the beautiful Mediterranean coastline and provides runners with magnificent views and a refreshing sea breeze. Add pleasant spring temperatures of 9-17°C, and low rainfall in March, and it really is an ideal location to run a strong race!

The Limassol Half Marathon GSO also offers a number of other events on race day including a full marathon, a 10K Energy Race, a 5K City Race, a 5K Corporate Team Race and a 1K Kids Race, making it a complete sporting experience for all ages and abilities. Overseas visitors can expect a friendly and celebratory atmosphere in a beautiful seaside location, as well as the highest international running standards.
