A Scenic Course Through History and Nature

Transitioning from swim to bike to run, the course winds through some of Paphos’s most iconic sights. First, athletes dive into the calm waters of the Paphos Harbour, a stunning location overlooked by the medieval castle. Then, they bike through palm-lined avenues and coastal roads before finishing with a run past historical landmarks.

​

A Perfect Blend of Terrain

From flat roadways to gentle inclines, the route challenges participants without overwhelming them. Furthermore, the pleasant spring weather in May makes it even more enjoyable—sunny but not too hot, ideal for endurance events.

​

Why the Pafos Triathlon is Perfect for Competitors and Spectators

In addition to a well-organized event, Paphos provides a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Spectators can support athletes while enjoying nearby cafés, beaches, and archaeological parks. Additionally, live coverage and real-time timing allow friends and family to follow the action closely.  To enrol and more information visit Pafos Triathlon website.
