Antalya Termessos Ultra

The 70K Antalya Termessos Ultra, run as part of Antalya Canyon Ultra, is a top-level ultra-marathon trail race approximately 70 km long with 2037m+ of climbing.

Under the principle of partial self-sufficiency, participants must complete the course within 15 hours 45 minutes (time limit: 23:45). Partial self-sufficiency means participants carry the equipment that allows them to continue running safely in the nature and terrain conditions they may encounter.

All athletes taking part in the 70K Antalya Termessos Ultra must hold either a valid medical certificate issued within the last 6 months (stating they are fit to practice athletics, running or mountaineering) or a valid (non-expired) athlete licence issued by the Athletics, Triathlon, Mountaineering, Orienteering or Cycling federations, and must present it during kit distribution. The race is open to all participants aged 18 and over.
