Soyer: Maratonİzmir will be one of the most important sports brands
President Tunç SoyerEmphasizing that Maratonİzmir is of great importance for the promotion of the city on the international platform, “İzmir has the most advantageous position in Europe with its beaches and jogging tracks. Our 629 kilometers of coastline and 100 kilometers of natural beaches are ideal for water and beach sports. We showed our national and international organizational strength with the CEV Continental Cup, U20 Beach Volleyball European Championship and Duathlonİzmir that we hosted. Despite the severe pandemic conditions, we organized Maratonİzmir twice, and we are organizing the third one. Maratonİzmir is on its way to becoming one of the most important brands of our beautiful İzmir. I believe it will be a race with wide participation and record breaking on April 17.”
