I'm more of a lazy walk a bit run a bit type so I'm a member of the Happy Valley Hash House Harriers. You're welcome to come along. Let me know when you're here and I'll take you along. We run on a Thurday at 5ish, different venue every time.

I'm sure there are othe clubs and must be a tri club somewhere. If I hear of anything I will let you know

Thanks. We are moving out there next Feb. Run a bit, walk a bit sounds great to me - I get a stitch unless I run before breakfast (which I've managed to do about once this year!). I usually can't do longer than 10 mins on the treadmill, then end up in the cafe for a hot choc.

The good thing with the Hash is they set two outes, a walking one and a running one. Himself runs but I tend to walk as I can't keep up with the runners.

Hi. I've been in Cyprus for a little over a year and I really haven't met any expats. I know about the Hasher group but I'm not a runner and that Finnbars is a place where some meet up. Are there any other places?

I need social contact outside of my work colleagues - love them but need more. I like diving - are there any divers out there that I can dive with?

Hi am moving to Cyprus at the beginning of august and the running club sounds good, thought not sure how fast I'd be in the heat!!! Used to run for an athletics club but now just do it to keepfit.

Hey there! Yes, the Nicosia hashers meet up on Tuesdays at 7:30pm. You definitely don't have to be a runner as out of the average group of 15, about five are always walking. And as Arranexpat mentioned, there's a short route and a long route so that we both finish about the same time. If you google for running and Nicosia, you'll find our website or if you have any specific questions, I can most likely answer them for you. I've been running with the hash for about four years now and I am not a running fan usually!

Lazer, the Triathalon Federation may be able to help you out re: info on clubs in Paphos. They are cytrifed dot org. Also I believe I saw on <snip> that someone had started a running group in Paphos.

Thanks so much for the info. My hubbie has just checked out their website and is all excited! I'll also investigate the <snip> running group...
