Anatolian Mountain Race

The Anatolian Mountain Race is an unsupported, single-stage bikepacking ultra-distance race across Türkiye, running from 15 to 24 May 2026. The route covers approximately 1,260 km with around 32,000 m of climbing, starting in Cappadocia and crossing remote mountain ranges, plateaus and historic Anatolian towns. It is open to gravel and mountain bikes, with riders self-navigating the fixed GPX track and managing their own resupply and rest along the way.
