Türkiye İş Bankası 20th Istanbul Half Marathon

Was my first half outside my country! A great one, fast, cheerful crowds! Definitely i will come back next year!!

Great event. Could anyone tell me where to find the race pictures please? Thanks!

It was my first experience to run Marathon and I enjoyed it a lot. Nice track, good organisation, friendly atmosphere.

This route is really fast and comfortable for runners. Everyone can make PR here.

The views were incredible and the trail was smooth and straightforward. It was a fast course, and 21K went by fast. I highly recommend this course for those wishing to work on their time as this course is fairly flat.

Fantastic run. Well organised.

Running around the capital of the eastern Roman Empire for a 1000 years... What's not to like? The Blue Mosque... Aya Sophia... The Galata bridge... Thousands of runners... Great support... Well organised... Good communication... Oh, and dolphins swimming alongside the route in the Bosphorus. Brilliant!

Everything is fine, they didn't give me a pack in class A, I had to start from E and my age category was wrong.

There is no English information at all, even to collect the kit and to find out the start time for the 21K. During the race all the information given over the speakers were in Turkish so cannot know what to do or where to go. After the race I did get access to my pictures becuase I do not have a Turkish SIM.

No transportation back after the race to the hotel so I walked about 12 km.

gara organizzata benissimo. la consiglio a tutti. percorso bello, tanta partecipazione e poi Istanbul e’un na città unica

ottimo. gara bene organizzata ad eccezione del luogo per il ritiro pettorale, un po’ troppo lontano, per il resto mi è piaciuto tutto

The atmosphere is very good 👍

Excellent

mostly flat surface, decent organization of all stages (pre-race, race and after the race), cool merch

Excellent

my first half marathon in my life, but I was expecting a little better atmosphere
