The Cyprus International 4-Day Challenge is an adventurous event that offers an excellent mixture of traditional road running and spectacular trail running.

With four races over four days, runners compete for two holiday packages for the 2009 race worth over €2500. The times for each race are added together to determine a winner at the end of the four days.

After the 6km Coral Beach trial run on day one, the 11km Akamas Hill Run in the nature reserve park offers sea views and sweeping vistas. The Akamas half marathon takes place on day three, while the last race of the series, the 10km Paphos City Run, can also be run as a race on its own.

The Cyprus International 4-Day Challenge is co-organised by Arena Sports and 2:09 Events. If you'd like to participate please check their website for registration fees.
