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.
Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
