The Bank of Cyprus Nicosia Marathon is a road marathon through the centre of Cyprus's capital, held on a Sunday in late January, and the 2027 race is billed as the 8th edition. The organisers also stage a half marathon, a 10K, a 5K and a 1 km kids' race on the same morning. The marathon starts at 6:45 am at Solomou Square and finishes at Eleftheria Square in the old town. The course passes the Nicosia Municipal Theatre, Griva Digeni Avenue, the Municipal Gardens, the historic Famagusta Gate and the Liberty Monument, then follows the linear park on Synergasias Street before the finish. Marathon and half marathon entrants must be 18 or older, the cut-off is six hours after the start, and pace teams run at 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30. The courses, except for the 1 km race, are measured by an official IAAF measurer. The race was first held in 2010, and the organiser's records show editions in 2010 and 2012 before racing resumed in 2021 and has run every year since. The marathon course records are 2:44:06 for men, set by Dimitris Vogiatsis in 2012, and 3:02:33 for women, set by Karen Williamson in 2026.
