This traditional tournament marks the arrival of spring for the people of Antalya and offers a top-notch racing experience with its AIMS (International Association of Marathons and Distance Races) membership. The event also helps to establish Antalya not just as a vacation spot, but as a global center for sports.

This year, Runtalya is set to welcome over 10,000 runners from 75 different countries. The event features races for everyone, from experienced athletes to newcomers. Runners of all skill levels can participate in categories like 5K, 10K, 10K Team, 21K Half Marathon, and 42K Full Marathon. Plus, there are special awards for the top three finishers in both the Marathon and Half Marathon categories.

Beyond the running experience, Runtalya 2026 offers an enjoyable festival atmosphere with concerts, events, and parties.
