The race

Just like the marathon, the participants in the Istanbul 15km also start in the Asian part of this metropolis. Free buses run from the organization to take you to the starting location. From the start, participants will head towards Europe, where they will pass the city's most famous sights on their way to the finish line in Yenikapi. An excellent option for runners who find the marathon distance too long. The weather conditions are also very favorable in the autumn, making for a pleasant run! Running across two continents, it's possible at the Istanbul 15K!
