Limassol – Costas Tsielepis & Co took part last Saturday in this year’s Limassol Marathon with the Tsielepis Running Team demonstrating once again that a healthy mind should go hand in hand with a healthy body.
The members of the Tsielepis Running Team participated in the annual event’s 5Km Corporate Run alongside more than 4.000 participants from 193 companies who despite the drizzling rain flooded the Limassol coastal road to help raise money for local charities.
The team finished 130th with an average time of 30mins.

Some of the team members ran while others walked briskly. They all finished the race however smiling and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Events over the Limassol Marathon weekend included a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10km energy race, a 5km city race, the 5km corporate race, a 5km City race and a 1km youth race.
