Troya Marathon

On April 26, 2026, Çanakkale will host a run that feels less like a race and more like a living epic: the Troya Marathon. This is where sport meets story—where the Aegean breeze, the Dardanelles’ horizon, and the mythic weight of Troy turn every kilometer into something you’ll remember long after the medal is packed away.

The lineup is built to welcome every kind of runner—and every kind of traveler. The 42K “Epic of Troy” is the purest test of endurance: 42.195 km of patience, grit, and rhythm, inspired by the spirit of Troy’s walls and the resilience woven into Çanakkale’s identity. The 21K “Peninsula’s Will” blends strategy with scenery, carrying you alongside unforgettable views that feel like a moving panorama. Prefer speed with meaning? The 10K “Run to the Heart of History” offers a powerful, accessible challenge through the city’s iconic points, while the 6K “Hello to the Legend” opens the door for newcomers to breathe in the sea air and be part of the atmosphere. And for families, the Kids Run brings the newest “little heroes” into the story—proof that legends don’t only live in books.

This is more than a finish line—it’s a passport into one of Türkiye’s most unforgettable landscapes of myth, memory, and sea light.
