Fantastic. It ıs so comprehensıve for local and national news, full of interesting articles, and has great links: a sort of one-stop-sıte for an english-speaking resıdent. And the layout is terrific.

Lycian Way Ultra Marathon 2011 PDF Print E-mail

Lycian Way Ultra MarathonIf you are not already perspiring in the current Kalkan heatwave, this news is enough to make you sweat, just thinking about it.

Last year, a new Ultra Marathon route was established on the popular Lycian Way - the first Ultra Marathon route in Turkey.

Coming up soon, between Saturday 24th September and Sunday 2nd October, participants will take part in the 2nd Lycian Way Ultra Marathon.

They will make their way along approximately 240 km of the 500 km Lycian Way - just under half of the overall length.  Along the route they will run at altitudes ranging from sea level, up to 800 metres.

The precise route has not yet been published, so we can't say how close to Kalkan they will come. 

The race proper starts near Ölü Deniz, close to Fethiye, at 7am on Monday 26th September, after a couple of days of preparation.

As someone who enjoys walking on the Lycian Way, I can see the attraction of this route - it is truly spectacular.  But as for running it?  Count me out.

You can find out more on the official website: Lycian Way Ultra Marathon Website
