Specifically, the event highlighted the benefits of exercising for all age groups. It featured Rhythmic Gymnastics, Karate, Taekwon-do, Hapkido for children and adults, Zumba, Dances, demonstrations from pre-school children and a third age programme.

Athletics for All aims to contribute to eliminating the negativity towards exercising, by offering several opportunities for athletic engagement, which aim to respond to the needs of Nicosia’s citizens.

Kleanthis Georgiadis, president, CSO, stressed, “Mass sport is the sector that motivates everyone for healthy and regular exercise. The Athletics for All programme is our top and powerful national programme, with over 15,000 members, of all ages from four to 90 years old. It is the programme that is embraced by all Cypriot people with love.”
