Radisson Hotels Larnaca Marathon to host 14,000 runners this November

The 2026 Radisson Hotels Larnaca Marathon is scheduled to take place on November 15, 2026, featuring a redesigned route and a new official name. This year's event has attracted over 14,000 participants from 85 countries, with more than 1,000 athletes registered for the full marathon distance. The event is designed to promote Larnaca as a premier destination for sports tourism and foster international engagement.

The organizational structure has evolved, with the Radisson Beach Resort Larnaca joining the Radisson Blu Hotel Larnaca as the primary naming sponsors. This partnership continues a tradition of support that began in 2017. Other key sponsors, including Petrolina and McDonald’s Cyprus, have renewed their commitments to the event. Specifically, McDonald’s will host the 1km Kids Race, providing free entry and sports kits to young participants to encourage athletic development and community spirit.

Preparations for the race were officially presented during a press conference held on October 20 at the Radisson Blu Hotel. Larnaca Mayor Andreas Vyras emphasized the marathon's significance in enhancing the city's international profile and local economy. Participants and spectators are currently preparing for the November race, which remains a cornerstone event for the region’s sports calendar.
