Lykos Half Marathon 2025

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, runners from around the world will converge in Denizli for the inaugural Lykos Half Marathon—a race unlike any other, where natural wonders and ancient history come together.

Athletes will choose from three distances—21K Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K Fun Run—with routes blending cobblestone paths, asphalt stretches, and rolling terrain to create both a challenge and a delight. The highlight awaits in the final 2 kilometers: competitors will run through the storied ruins of Hierapolis Ancient City, before finishing with the unforgettable experience of walking across the world-famous Pamukkale travertines, soothing their muscles in the thermal waters.

Designed to appeal to both elite athletes and amateurs, the Lykos Half Marathon isn’t just a race—it’s an invitation to experience Türkiye’s cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and sports spirit in one unforgettable weekend.
