Karageçit Trail

On June 7, 2026, Karageçit Trail will bring runners into one of Mersin’s most rugged and refreshing nature settings, unfolding around Kadıncık Dam in the Çamlıyayla / Tarsus region. This is a race shaped by forest air, canyon passages, mountain silence, and wide-open views—an invitation to trade the ordinary for a full day of trail rhythm in the highlands.

Each course will tell a different version of the landscape. The 8K Discovery Run will offer an accessible first step into the terrain, with forest trails and dam views setting a calm but memorable tone. The 15K Wild Canyon Run will raise the pulse with canyon crossings and more technical sections. The 30K Mountain Legend will push deeper into climbing-focused mountain terrain, while the 50K Ultra Challenge will deliver the full adventure for runners looking to test endurance on a bigger scale. And even if you’re not racing, this is still the kind of weekend worth making the trip for—because in Karageçit, the scenery is part of the event, and the mountain air makes every hour feel like a reset.
