THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD IN 2021

This special course gives every runner the opportunity to run the fastest half marathon. The race in the Elite Label category, which will be run in the unique scenery of Suriçi, offers unique experiences to the participants with its 8-year-old historical route.
EVERY STEP IS FULL OF HISTORY
The organization to be held in the Historic Peninsula will start at the Yenikapı Event Area and end at the same point. On the track, which continues along the coastal road from Yenikapı to Eminönü, the athletes will cross the Galata Bridge and turn at the lights at the end of the bridge. After the turn, the runners will follow the Eminönü and Cibali coastline, and advance to the Golden Horn Bridge. The track, which returns from the bridge once again, will follow the same line in the opposite direction and end where it started.
