The routes

Two ways up the mountain

Two lines through the finest mountain roads in Cyprus. The Grand is the full 166 kilometres and 4,750 metres of climbing, a genuine high-country epic from first light back to the hotel. The Demi traces a shorter path over the same storied roads, every bit as wild. Both start and finish at The Agora Hotel in Pano Lefkara: the Grand rolls out at 06:30, the Demi at 09:30. Routes are provisional until the start.

Checkpoint times

Pass every point while it’s open

The Grand rolls out at 06:30, the Demi at 09:30. Every checkpoint opens and closes at a set time; the time in red is the cut-off. Cross each point before it closes or your time is not scored. Times are provisional until event day.

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 while it is open. The opening and closing times for both routes are published above. 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.
