There are worse ways to spend a Sunday evening than running through the old streets of Larnaca as the sun drops over the Mediterranean. On 20 September 2026, the first Run. Rave. Wineate. of the new season sets off from Larnaca Castle at 18:30, sending a crowd of runners into the warm September dusk for a 5K loop through the city.
The event is the natural evolution of the much-loved Run, Rave & Caffeinate format — same sense of community, same inclusive spirit, but with a glass of wine waiting at the finish line instead of a flat white. The route is not a race in any competitive sense; it is a shared experience, a moving social occasion that happens to cover five kilometres before arriving at its real destination.
That destination is Vinaria, where the after-party takes over. A glass of wine is included in every ticket, and the atmosphere shifts from pavement to party without missing a beat. Whether you are a seasoned runner or someone who simply enjoys an excuse to explore the city on foot, the format is deliberately welcoming.
Tickets start at €15 and include the welcome glass of wine at Vinaria. The warm-up begins before the 18:30 gun, so arriving a few minutes early is advisable. This is Larnaca at its most convivial — active, social, and unhurried.
