Highlights
1.460 km sabit rota: Antalya'dan Toros Dağları'nı aşıp Mersin batısında Akdeniz'de bitiyor.
Desteksiz ve tek etaplı; saat durmuyor, ödül yok.
Neredeyse tamamı çakıl, patika ve eski hayvan yolları — asfalt yok denecek kadar az.
Tek başına veya çift olarak katılım; kabul, güvenli karar verme becerisini ölçen başvuruyla.
About This Event
A 1,460 km fixed-route, unsupported, single-stage bike race that starts in Antalya, traverses the heart of the Taurus range, loops it and then pushes on to finish on the Mediterranean west of Mersin. The clock never stops and there are no prizes. The route runs on gravel, single and double track and old livestock trails known only to the people who live in these mountains; there is very little tarmac, some walking, and at times great distances between resupply points. The terrain moves from forest to rocky peaks to remote desert plateaus, and ranks among the most demanding in the country. Riders enter solo or as a pair. Entry is by application, assessing whether a rider can make safe decisions alone in the mountains — multi-day bikepacking experience, preferably off-road and remote, is what the organizer expects. The fee is £420 per rider, plus £80 tracker rental if needed and a £50 media licence for sponsored riders (no TRY figure here, since it moves with the exchange rate). Applications for 2026 are closed and the race is fully subscribed.

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.
