Replacing the long-running Kolossi race, the Amathunta Half Marathon begins and ends at Amathus, on the Agios Tychonas seafront, and is open to all runners.
On the day of the event there is also a fun run of 10km for those who don't think they will manage the longer one. Running classes are scheduled on the basis of age, and the 21,098-metre course is nice and flat. Furthermore, seasonal fruit, Leon beer and ENA juices (some of the sponsors) are offered free of charge to all participating runners after the race.
If the running doesn't take your fancy, then catch the band and traditional dancing at the castle instead.
