Run AEGEEan Run

First held in 2015, this thematic project—unique to Istanbul—has grown year after year and is now in its 6th edition. Held annually during the marathon dates, this special project is not just a sporting event but also aims to build a bridge between cultures.

Participants have the opportunity to walk across two continents against the backdrop of the Bosphorus’s unique scenery, while also experiencing Istanbul’s rich history and culture. This experience is not only athletic but also highlights the potential to bring people’s differences together. Growing and evolving every year, this journey across two continents not only leaves participants with memories they will cherish for a lifetime but also reinforces respect for the world’s diversity.
