Keep on running with a Cyprus holiday

The annual Cypriot half marathon takes place each November, making a Cyprus villa break potentially ideal for runners growing weary of the darkening British nights.

According to events guide What's On When, the circuit takes runners along the Paphos coast and is organised by the Cyprus Health Runners Club.

Participants must be at least 16 and have three hours in which to complete the course, but a fun run is available for younger or more relaxed athletes, who can jog the five km in as long as they wish.

"There's a pasta party the night before the race and the post-race celebrations include a gala dinner with music, dancing and prize-giving," the website reveals.

A recent article in the Daily Mail revealed that David Haye, the prizefighter, was planning his move into the heavyweight category on a tranquil Cyprus holiday.
