TUI Cyprus Marathon

TUI Cyprus Marathon 2027 is a winter-sun running festival in Paphos that combines Mediterranean scenery, varied race options, and the relaxed destination feel that has made the event one of Cyprus’s best-known international running weekends. The 2027 edition is scheduled for Sunday, 28 February 2027, with the marathon starting at Aphrodite’s Rock and finishing at Paphos Medieval Castle, while the half marathon and 10 km are centered in Paphos itself. Alongside the main race, the weekend format is built to welcome different kinds of participants, with shorter distances and a broader event atmosphere that makes it appealing both to serious runners and to travelers looking for a race experience in a warmer climate.

What gives the event its character is the setting. Official race materials highlight a course that follows the promenade and seafront with wide views over the bay and the Mediterranean, while Paphos adds a backdrop of historic streets, palm-lined boulevards, and a finish area beside one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. The event is also part of TUI’s Mediterranean Marathon League, which reinforces its position as a destination race rather than just a local road marathon. For runners considering it for the first time, that combination is the main appeal: a scenic coastal route, a recognizable marathon point-to-point experience, and a race weekend built around sport, travel, and early-season motivation.
