Walking and trekking the Beşparmak trail

The nature walk organized by the Cyprus International University (CIU) Arena Sports Affairs Directorate was held on the Beşparmak trail with the participation of CIU students and faculty members.
CIU Arena Sports Trainer Hasan Özenkaya stated that they organized such an event for students to relax after the mid-term exams and beat post-exam stress, and added that not only students but also faculty members participated in the event.  
Özenkaya stated that they walked the Beşparmak trail which was approximately 10 kilometers long. He also mentioned that “This track is an ideal route to discover the unique natural beauties and rich vegetation of the region.”
Özenkaya also pointed out that the fact that the event was held outside the campus area offered the participants the chance to spend time in a new environment and enjoy different experiences, and said, “During the walk, the participants spent a day in nature breathing in fresh air and experienced both the physical and mental benefits of doing sports.”
Reminding that such events are not only beneficial physically but also socially and mentally,   Özenkaya said, “This organization has become an established part of our event schedule that aims to increase the quality of life of individuals where sports and nature converge. As CIU, we will continue to plan such activities in the future that will contribute to our students and employees leading a healthy life style.”
