Istanbul Night Marathon
An unforgettable summer night experience took place on July 4, 2026. The Istanbul Night Marathon—our country's first night marathon—was held along the Sarıyer-Tarabya coastline!
This night marathon launched not only as a new race but also with a fresh format. The 42km and 21km events were run as team relays, while the 10K race was run individually. Participants from 32 different countries lit up the night along the Bosphorous route; it was the first time Sarıyer had witnessed such an event.
