Yaren Stork Run

Bursa will host one of Türkiye’s most story-rich runs on May 17, 2026 with the Yaren Stork Run—an event that blends sport, nature, and local culture into a truly memorable race-day experience. The start will be set at the entrance of Eskikaraağaç Village, famous for its storks, where the atmosphere already feels like a living postcard.

The opening 1.5 kilometers will follow the paved Stork Walkway along the shores of Lake Uluabat, with calm water, birdsong, and that quiet countryside rhythm shaping your first steps. From there, the run becomes less about chasing a time and more about moving through a place with a heartbeat—where every kilometer carries a little nature, a little village life, and a lot of meaning. And even if you’re not running, you’ll still want to be here—because this is the kind of weekend where cheering comes with lake views, fresh air, and a story you’ll want to take home.
