We moved to the high Troodos for the fourth race
of the 2015 La Sportiva Cyprus Mountain Madness trail race series.
The two-in-one event held on September 27 featured both a 25km race and a 50km race. The 25km race route followed a circular course
(Loop B), and the 50km race route followed two different 25km
loops -- Loop A and Loop B (the same Loop B being followed by those
taking part in the shorter race.
Both races counted for points for the Mountain Madness series
-- ie winners of each race scored 15 points, second in each race
10 points etc.
Pre-entry is COMPULSORY for those doing the 50km, but we encourage those planning to do the 25km to pre-enter. We will also take entries on the day for those planning to do the 25km.
Payment for both races will be taken on the day.
Entry fee for the 25km race: 10 euros.
Entry fee for the 50km race: 25 euros.
The 50km race will start at 6am on Loop A, while the 25km race will start at 10am on Loop B.

if you would like us to provide
