Join Cyprus Independence Day
Cyprus independence day
Race day 29-9-21
Start 18:30
Back to 1878, when in the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War, Cyprus came under the jurisdiction of the British Empire as long as Britain would use the island as a base to protect the Ottoman Empire against a Russian attack.
Eventually, disputes between Greek Cypriots the British led to armed conflict between the two parties, and the creation of the EOKA (Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston) in 1955.The conflict lasted until January 1959, when an agreement was signed between Greece, Turkey, Britain and Cyprus.
The agreement came into effect on — you guessed it — 1st October 1960
Ever since 1960, the 1st of October marks the anniversary of the islands independence from the British colonialists. Those races are celebration for CYPRUS INDEPENDENCE DAY
On October 1st each year, Cyprus celebrates its independence, the anniversary of their split from the United Kingdom.
The race is 5km
All safety measures for COVID-19 will be kept.
