In Cyprus, running is never just about the finish line. It’s about running for someone, running for something, running to give hope. Many of the island’s most anticipated sporting events are organized by non-profit associations, municipalities, and local communities who believe in more than competition — they believe in empathy, health, and unity. Even if we are not seasoned runners, lacing up for just one race means joining a movement of compassion and strength that uplifts our compatriots.
