The most popular races of the event are the 5KM Individual and Corporate races and the start line is located next to the Europe square, in Foinikoudes. From the start line the runners head east and at the end of Foinikoudes they turn right towards Makariou avenue. The runners continue their race until they reach the 1st km, where the turning point of the race is located. The runners will then head west towards the city centre of Larnaka, through Makariou Avenue and across Zinonos Kitieos, passing from the picturesque city center and the historic church of Saint Lazaros.
After reaching Saint Lazaros church, runners will pass through the Turkish Cypriot neighbourhoods and reach Piale Pasa, one of the most picturesque coastal avenues of Larnaka. Runners will then turn left and head east, passing from the Medieval castle and finish the race at Foinikoudes, right in front of the Larnaka Municipality.
