Antalya International Marathon

About the Event

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Antalya’s premier sporting tradition at Runtalya 2026, scheduled for April 5, 2026. This landmark 3-day running festival transforms the Mediterranean coast into a vibrant hub of music, movement, and community. With over 10,000 runners expected from more than 75 countries, the event offers a distance for every ambition: the ultimate endurance test of the Full Marathon, a scenic Half Marathon along the cliffs, a competitive 10K (including corporate team options), and a 5K Run/Walk designed for beginners. The weekend kicks off on April 3rd at the Runtalya Village with race kit distribution and opening parties, followed by the Little Steps Run for children and a shake-out run by Asics on Saturday. On race morning, Sunday, participants will navigate a panoramic route featuring breathtaking views of the turquoise sea, stretching from one end of the city to the other.

Runtalya is a lifestyle event deeply rooted in social responsibility, continuing its legacy of "running for a better tomorrow." Building on the success of 2025—which generated over 11.7 million lira in donations for 27 initiatives—the 2026 campaign invites participants to contribute through partners like Adım Adım and Lions Türkiye. Every registered athlete receives a comprehensive race kit including a high-quality t-shirt, chip timing, and a finisher’s medal, with special awards for top age-group finishers in the marathon and half marathon categories. Whether you are aiming for a personal best on the fast, coastal course or participating with a team to support a local charity, the Runtalya 2026 festival provides a professional, festive, and spiritually rewarding experience in the heart of the Turkish Riviera. Secure your spot by March 25th to take advantage of current registration rates and join a global community where every step makes a difference.
