Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Half Marathon

The most advantageous registration period for one of the world’s fastest half marathons has officially begun. The Türkiye İş Bankası 21st Istanbul Half Marathon will be held on 19 April 2026, bringing athletes onto a course renowned for speed, precision, and record-breaking performances — all set against the stunning backdrop of İstanbul’s Historic Peninsula.

Runners will once again experience a route where ancient walls, shimmering coastlines, and centuries-old landmarks frame each stride. The event offers three categories designed for every level:

10K – a fast and scenic route along the Historic Peninsula

21K Half Marathon – one of the world’s flattest and fastest courses, ideal for pushing limits and chasing personal bests

Charity Run – uniting thousands for meaningful causes

As İstanbul transforms into a global running stage, participants will race through a living museum — where Europe meets Asia, history meets endurance, and speed meets atmosphere.
