47th Istanbul Marathon

Only one marathon on Earth lets you cross continents with your own two feet—and it’s back this fall. On November 2, 2025, runners from around the world will gather in Istanbul, Türkiye, for the 47th edition of the world’s only transcontinental marathon.

Starting in Asia and finishing in Europe, this iconic course winds through centuries of history, architectural grandeur, and the soul of a city that bridges worlds.

Lace up, look east, and run west—this isn’t just a race; it’s a journey through civilizations.
