Cyprus Backyard Ultra

20 March 2027 · Oroklini, Cyprus

The Cyprus Backyard Ultra brings the cult backyard format to the island, with its fourth edition in March 2027. The rules are simple and merciless: every hour, on the hour, runners set off on a 6.706 km loop, and anyone who fails to get back in time is out — the last one standing wins. The loop runs through parkland and countryside at Oroklini near Larnaca, mixing dirt trails, gravel paths, shaded sections and Mediterranean views. The field is capped at 95 athletes, so the mood is close-knit and mutual support is part of the game. In Larnaca, visit the Church of Saint Lazarus, the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque on the flamingo-dotted salt lake and the Finikoudes seafront.
