Cyprus Trail Runners' events
We at Cyprus Trail Runners no longer organise races but we do hold regular social runs and the occasional trail camp.
We are also ready to assist runners who wish to tackle the iconic 135 km Sea to Sky route from Alaminos to Troodos, or the 160 km longer route that starts at Meneou Beach.
