The sportive
Six editions in. The mountains haven’t softened.
Lefkara Classic is an endurance road sportive through the stone villages and pine ridges above Lefkara. The Grand climbs 4,750 metres over 166 kilometres; the Demi takes a shorter line: 74 kilometres and 2,000 metres of climbing. Roll out at first light from The Agora Hotel, Pano Lefkara, Cyprus, race it or ride it, and finish back at the hotel where you started. It is a big day out, whichever route you choose.

Read this before you ride
- 01The full course is not marked, only a few key points. It is each rider's responsibility to load the route onto their GPS device before the start.
- 02The ride runs on open public roads. Respect the traffic and the highway code at all times.
- 03You must cross every official checkpoint within the cut-off times (to be announced). Miss a cut-off and your time will not be scored, and you are no longer an official finisher.
- 04No e-bikes or pedal-assist bikes, and no flat-bar bikes such as mountain bikes.
- 05Respect nature: littering means disqualification. Dispose of your litter at the checkpoints.
The Demi is a different distance, never a lesser one. Routes are provisional and may change before the start.
