Marathon #176 (country #36): Runtalya Marathon, Antalya, Turkey

3:48 finish, 86/243 place overall. Scenic race based in Antalya, a popular resort city on the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. Nice views of the coast and mountains as well as the downtown historic area. It’s a fairly large event that has a a big city race atmosphere in the beginning, but that’s mainly because of the shorter distance races. Once the half marathon splits off, there are only a few hundred marathoners and it’s much more spread out. A few minor hills and a little warm towards the end, but mostly good conditions. Decent finish time within my usual range.
