The Two Castles Trail Ultra in Cyprus takes place in one month's time -- on May 24, 2014 -- in the Kyrenia range of mountains.
This is a three-in-one event:
1. The 80km Lionheart run -- from Kantara castle, following single-track trails and jeep tracks across the spine of the Kyrenia range to the Five Fingers mountains and then on to Buffavento castle and eventually down to Bellapais village for a spectacular finish.
2. The 27km Braveheart run -- from the Alevkaya herbarium to Bellpais (the last 27km of the Lionheart run) -- a tough and adventurous run on the island's most exquisite trails -- not to be missed for those not ready to tackle the full 80km ultra
3. The 10km Mountain Goat challenge -- a good introduction to the rocky but enticing trails of Cyprus. This race follows the last 10km of the Lionheart run. Starting on very rocky, watch-your-step trails, the course ends on a long stretch of jeep track that winds slowly and happily down to the finish line at Ambelia village in Bellapais.
Enter now to secure your place in the world's friendliest and most romantic trail ultra.
