Ayvalık Half Marathon

Aegean mornings, olive-grove air, and a race weekend that feels like a mini-holiday: the Ayvalık Half Marathon will return for its 4th edition on September 11–13, 2026, turning this coastal corner of Türkiye into a three-day celebration of movement. With 21K, 10K, and 5K options, Ayvalık will welcome everyone—from half-marathon chasers to travelers who simply want a scenic run and a reason to spend a long weekend by the sea.

Ayvalık’s magic is its texture: stone streets, island views, and that slow Aegean rhythm that makes every post-race hour feel earned. Race in the morning, then let the rest of the day belong to the town—cafés, coastal walks, sunset viewpoints, and the kind of atmosphere that turns a running trip into a story you’ll want to retell.

Ayvalık turns race weekend into a shared win—fast splits for some, long strolls and sea views for everyone.
