About This Event
Türkiye's only UTMB World Series event: it starts from Rize's Ayder Plateau and runs the trails of the Kaçkar Mountains across four categories from 4K to 100K. The main race day is 12 September 2026, with the 100K off at 04:00, the 50K at 08:00 and the 20K at 10:00. The first three women and first three men in the 50K and 100K earn direct entry to the OCC and CCC races at the UTMB World Series Finals, and every finisher collects Running Stones and a UTMB Index score. Entry fees rise through EUR tiers (€155-190 for the 100K, €115-145 for the 50K, €65-105 for the 20K, €25-35 for the Ayder 4K); the TRY equivalent isn't listed here since it moves with the exchange rate. Online entry closes at 23:59 on 31 August 2026, or sooner if the field fills. The 100K, 50K and 20K are 18+, and every runner must upload a doctor-signed medical certificate to their MyUTMB profile before 1 September. Entries are personal and non-transferable — any refund at all depends on the optional €20 Flexibility Fee, which can only be bought at the time of entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for an event?
Registration happens on each event's own official website — RaceTurkiye links you there, but doesn't process registrations or payments itself.
Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Refund and cancellation policies are set by each event's own organizer, not RaceTurkiye — check the event's official registration page for their specific policy.
Do I need an account to browse events?
No — you can browse and compare events without signing up. Creating an account lets you save races to a personal list under "My Account".
Are the reviews on this page verified?
Not yet — any signed-in athlete can leave a review, and we don't currently verify that reviewers actually took part in the event. That's why every review is labeled as an unverified attendee.
How accurate is the event information?
We aggregate publicly available facts (dates, distances, pricing) from each event's official source and write our own descriptions. Always confirm final details on the event's own site before registering.
