The history of Honeywell Events has been rich in tradition and innovation, carrying in its DNA 30 years of experience and leadership in the Cyprus’ DMC industry. Within these 30 years, Honeywell Events has emerged as a pioneer destination management company and events expert, offering unparalleled local knowledge, expertise, creativity for event design and planning and, above all, the best solutions with the highest level of service, for its most demanding and prestigious clients. Like Cyprus itself, we credit our accomplishments to hard work and visionary people working together. 

Through our openness, passion, expertise and attention to detail, Honeywell Events’ primary goal is the challenge to always be unique and differ with the organization of multi-events.

 

For this reason, since 2006, Honeywell Events has further expanded its activities, by organizing theLimassol Marathon, the largest sports event in Cyprus counting 16,000 participants. The event is the official Marathon of Cyprus offering a flat, fast and coastal route and featuring 6 races and 4 parallel events.

 Due to Covid-19, the 14th edition of the Limassol Marathon has been postponed and transferred to November 2021. 

 Therefore, as Honeywell Events’ vision is to keep the spirit of its running community burning through these very challenging times, it was recently announced by the company the launching  of a Virtual Race, which is the perfect opportunity to keep the body and mind healthy and alive until next year’s event that will take place in November 2021. 

Honeywell Events takes the opportunity to invite all its partners and friends in the UK, to beat the lockdown blues and run the Virtual Limassol Marathon, which will take place all over the world, from the 21st of November until the 5th of December 2020. 

Within these two weeks, all registered runners will have the chance to run the race of their choice, by completing the relevant amount of KMs and receive:

1. Official Race BIB Numbers. 

2. Official Race medal.

3. Official Race diploma.

4. Official finish time.
