Before the light is gone you will be on the top of the mountain, then you are an OlympusMan!

0m to 1952m / Sea to Summit / One Day

No finish line announcers. Just the quiet roar of accomplishment.

OlympusMan isn't a race for the ego - it’s a journey for the soul. This is a point-to-point pilgrimage from the Paphos coast through the vineyards of Diarizos, ending at the highest point in Cyprus.

  • The course is without doubt one of the most challenging Half Iron distances on the planet. An early morning 1.9k swim at Pafos harbor, followed by an 84km bike section with over a staggering 2,410 meters of ascent. The last leg would be an off-road half marathon with 460 meters of ascent gradually spiraling up to the summit of Olympus at 1952 meters.

    At the beginning of November the climate of Cyprus offers excellent conditions for such an endeavor! The Mediterranean Sea water is at a perfect 21°C temperature and crystal clear. The air temperature most likely will be at around 22-25°C on the lower sections with an expected 13-14°C on Olympus peak.
