This weekend, Nicosia and İskele will host sporting events that include triathlon and cycling races, prompting temporary road closures in both areas.
The Cyprus Turkish Triathlon Federation will organize a triathlon event on Sunday in İskele, featuring swimming, cycling, and running. The race is scheduled to take place from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
According to the police, the cycling segment of the triathlon will be held on the road stretching from the Ötüken roundabout on the main İskele–Karpaz highway to the roundabout near the Arkın İskele Hotel. Cyclists will be escorted by police throughout the route, and all intersections and roundabouts along the way will be temporarily closed to traffic.
