12th International Antalya O-Fest 2026

Alanya will turn into an international orienteering arena on October 26–31, 2026, as the 12th International Antalya O-Fest brings athletes to one of Türkiye’s most dynamic Mediterranean destinations. Across forest terrain, rocky sections, historic streets, urban stairs, and a night-sprint atmosphere, the event will offer a full week of navigation, speed, focus, and technical decision-making.

The program will begin on October 26 with the Middle Distance stage in Kızılalan, where athletes will face pine forest terrain, strong contour detail, rock formations, and technical but runnable sections. On October 27, the Long Distance stage in Gedevet will continue with similar forest and rocky terrain, demanding endurance as well as precise map reading. On October 28, the competition will move into the city with a Middle Sprint around Alanya Castle, where asphalt roads, pavements, residential areas, forest sections, and many stairs will create a very different racing rhythm.

The same day will also feature the Sprint Night-O in Alanya Bazaar, adding a mass-start night format to the festival. On October 30, the Long Distance stage in Cebelireis will return athletes to technical forest terrain with contour detail and rocky sections. The event will close on October 31 with the Sprint stage in Tophane, where urban streets, stairs, and fast route choices will shape the final race day.

Alanya will make the festival feel much bigger than the competition itself. Between stages, visitors can explore Alanya Castle, the Red Tower, the harbor, Cleopatra Beach, Damlataş Cave, Dimçayı, and the wider Mediterranean coastline. Local flavors such as fresh seafood, citrus, Alanya bananas, avocados, and relaxed seaside dinners will complete the experience. Even if you are not racing, you will still want to be here—because Antalya O-Fest will turn Alanya into a Mediterranean orienteering week where forest routes, castle streets, night racing, sea views, and sharp navigation all come together.
