46th VakıfBank International Trabzon Half Marathon

On February 15, 2026, the 46th VakıfBank International Trabzon Half Marathon will once again invite runners to experience the captivating blend of history, nature, and culture in Türkiye’s Black Sea gem— Trabzon.

With over 2,600 athletes from 21 countries joining last year’s race, this year’s edition promises to elevate the legacy of one of Türkiye’s longest-running city marathons. Participants will compete across multiple categories—the Half Marathon (21K), Quarter Marathon (10K), Public Run (3.7 km), and the Kids’ Run (1 km) — offering opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Set against a backdrop of ancient walls, monasteries, markets, and Ottoman architecture, the course winds through a city where every step echoes centuries of heritage. Surrounded by lakes, rivers, mountains, and lush forests, Trabzon offers not just a race but a journey through living history on the shores of the Black Sea.
