Ultra Abant

Set against the breathtaking scenery of Abant Lake National Park in Bolu, Ultra Abant invites runners to experience one of Türkiye’s most unique trail events on August 14–15, 2026.

As Bolu’s first and only ultra marathon, the event offers a rare opportunity to run through pristine forests, mountain trails, and authentic village landscapes — with local communities cheering runners along the way.
