Dear runner,
The last few 24 hours were the most challenging for #RUNLIMASSOL.
Due to COVID-19 and the subsequent containment measures in Cyprus, it was decided that the 14th OPAP Limassol Marathon is postponed to the 21st and 22nd of November 2020.
The postponement of the event has caused unprecedented difficulties for the organizing team but most importantly for the thousands of runners who were going to attend the event.
Working hard to deliver the best possible alternatives, we announce the following:
For the purposes of this announcement the following apply:
The event which was scheduled for the 21st and 22nd of March 2020 and which has been postponed will be referred to as the “March Event”.
The event taking place on the 21st and 22nd of November 2020 will be referred to as the “November Event”.
The 15th OPAP Limassol Marathon is scheduled for 27th and 28th March 2021 and will be referred to as the “2021 Event”.
All communication, enquiries and questions should be done via email only to info@limassolmarathon.com.
