Istanbul Marathon 2019: Whether you call it Avrasya maratonu, Istanbul intercontinental marathon or simply The Istanbul Marathon, it is the only one in the world to be done over two continents. From the Asian side of the Bosphorus to its European side this marathon is full of history, a race going back in time!
The starting line is on the Asian shore, where we meet the modern and futuristic Istanbul of the 21st century and then we’ll go through time and history along the kilometers. After crossing the Bosphorus, as you run along side the European shore, you’ll see the Imperial Istanbul of the 18th and 19th centuries that we’ll find in Ortaköy. This Istanbul district symbolizes quite well the multicultural aspect of the ottoman city. Here on the same stretch of our route, we’ll pass front of an orthodox church, a mosque and a synagogue.
