A weekend of running, flowers, friends and great views
Cyprus Trail Runners has stopped organising races, preferring to focus on exploring our beautiful island on more relaxed social runs. The Akamas Blossom Trail Running Festival will now be a social weekend running festival using the basic 38km and 24km Akamas Blossom race courses but adapted for different starting points and with short cut options to include runners of all abilities.
Participating runners will need to be able to be self-sufficient for up to 25km for the longer distances. They will also need to navigate using their phones/watches with the GPX tracks and maps provided.
Runs will start and finish at the Aphrodite Family Eco campsite, where we will be based for the weekend.
