Kemaliye Festival Run
A festive run-and-walk winding through the streets among the historic Eğin houses. A world first: the start is signalled by a wingsuit jump!
This is a festive run-and-walk course where the people of Kemaliye and all the guests coming to the festival wander the town streets while taking in the historic Eğin houses. On this route — ideal for exploring Kemaliye and the valley — if you plan to go slower and take photos, charge up fully: you will see stunning views and great shots.
It is about 3.5 km long. There is no water station on the course; you can safely drink from the fountains. Carrying a half-litre bottle is recommended.
A world first! The start is given by a wingsuit jump. Cengiz Koçak leaps from Eğin Mountain and the start signal is given as he glides a few metres above those waiting in the start area!
At the same time, the Kemaliye Tahir Sehlikoğlu Youth Run — contested by young people living in Kemaliye — also starts and is classified separately.
Only a general women / men classification is made; there is no age classification.
