Outdoorsy events in the mountains

Time to enjoy the Cypriot winter. With temperatures dropping and the occasional rain, Cyprus mountains and snowy hills are coming to life. Rain or shine, for those of us in Cyprus, winter is a popular season to explore the outdoors and hit the road. Layer up and enjoy one of the many mountain trails or join an event that takes you to Cyprus’ great outdoors.

The 1st Kakopetria Winter Run will take place on January 29 and take participants on a riverside run. Three routes are planned, a 15km one with 500 metres of elevation gain which will start at 8.30am, a 7km route beginning at 9.05am and a 1km run for children at 11am.

The race will mostly take place in the forest, running next to the Karkotis river and through a green valley, passing near the closed mine facilities and the church of Ayios Nikolaos tis Stegis which has outstanding wall paintings and is included on the Unesco World Heritage List.
