On January 19, 2025, the picturesque village of Kambos in Cyprus will host the second annual Kambos Mountain Race, organized by the Kampos and Tsakkistra Development Association in collaboration with the Kampos Community Council. This highly anticipated event brings together runners from across the island to test their endurance and skill in the breathtaking, yet challenging, mountainous terrain.
Participants can choose between two demanding routes:
- 11 km Race: Ideal for those looking to challenge themselves, this route features an elevation gain of approximately 730 meters.
- 22 km Race: Designed for experienced runners, this course is more demanding with an elevation gain of about 1,260 meters.
Both races are physically demanding and recommended for seasoned runners. To ensure safety and quality, the 22 km race is capped at 100 participants, while the 11 km race is limited to 150 runners. All participants must be over 18 years old.
For younger athletes, there will be a fun 500-meter children’s race for ages 6 to 12, with on-site registration available. The main events kick off from the central square of Kambos village at 9:00 AM.
Given the event’s rural location and the limited availability of public transport, it’s essential to arrange your travel in advance. Renting a car is a practical solution for both participants and spectators, ensuring timely and convenient access to the event.
