Ayia Napa Half Marathon

Ayia Napa Half Marathon – 21 December 2025

The Ayia Napa Half Marathon is one of Cyprus’ premier year-end running events, offering a fast, flat, and certified course in a world-famous coastal resort. Perfect for both seasoned competitors and first-time half-marathoners, the event features multiple race options: Half Marathon (21.1 km), 10 km, 5 km, and a 3x7 km Team Relay, along with a charity Fun Run that opens Ayia Napa’s Christmas season.

Starting and finishing at Nissi Beach Resort, runners race traffic-free along Nissi Avenue, the modern Ayia Napa Marina, and through Cape Greco National Park, with sweeping views of the Mediterranean. Mild winter temperatures and the coastal backdrop make this a perfect destination race.

The event is professionally organised by Nireas Triathlon, under international standards, with electronic timing, aid stations, first aid, and finisher medals for all participants. Competitive categories are available by age group, and awards are given to the top three male and female finishers overall. The popular relay format allows friends or colleagues to share the half-marathon distance, making the race accessible to everyone.

Beyond the competition, the festive atmosphere includes the lighting of Ayia Napa’s Christmas tree, entertainment, and family-friendly activities. With its mix of speed, scenery, and celebration, the Ayia Napa Half Marathon 2025 is a unique way to close out the running season under the Cypriot winter sun.
