The Istanbul Marathon (Turkish: İstanbul Maratonu, also known as Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Marathon for sponsorship reasons) is an international athletics event hosted in Istanbul, Turkey, in November, first held in 1979.[3] It is the only marathon in the world whose course spans two continents, Asia and Europe.[a]
The three race categories for men and women are: marathon, 15 km and public run. A special category for disabled persons exists also. Participation in the public run was with 150,000 people a record set in 1998.
The event is organised by Istanbul Sports Events, which also hosts the annual Istanbul Half Marathon in April.[5]
