15 July Martyrs Bridge to Sultanahmet, Istanbul · Every November
Istanbul Marathon
The only marathon that starts on one continent and finishes on another, over a bridge closed for the day.
25 days until the next window
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Istanbul for November 1 to 15, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The fun run needs a cheap registration too; it is not a walk-up.
- Ferries and the metro are the way around on race day; roads along the shore close.
- Both airports are about an hour from the start on the Asian shore; race-day shuttles run from the European side before dawn.
