SMT’s sponsorship with Limassol Marathon is closely linked to our commitment to mental and physical wellness.  Many employees – local and international — participate in race events, and the SMT community is encouraged to link their own wellness journeys to the marathon by sharing their fitness activities on our marathon-inspired social media group.

The marathon is a major community event in Cyprus – and an equally major event for our local and international employees.  Employees and their families support the event as participants, volunteers, and supporters, and we encourage employees from other offices to travel to Cyprus and join in the fun.

In 2021 the worst forest fire to hit the island in decades took place. Fanned by strong winds, the fire swept through the southern foothills of the Troodos and forced the evacuation of 10 villages. To support these devastated areas, SMT will join other marathon organizers in a reforestation program in the fire devastated areas — one tree for every finisher in the any of the individual races.  As part of this program, SMT will join a team-building event in October and November in cooperation with the Department of Forests.

The Marathon raises awareness and funds for a coalition of charitable organization promoting family health and wellness throughout Cyprus. SMT is a proud sponsor of the event and the vital programming it supports.
