About the Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Half Marathon
The Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Half Marathon is the city's performance-focused spring race, separate from the bridge-crossing full marathon in autumn. The half is limited to runners who can document a recent qualifying result, which keeps the 8,000-runner field moving on a fast Historic Peninsula course.
Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Half Marathon course description
The out-and-back starts at Yenikapı, follows Kennedy Street along the Marmara coast, crosses Galata Bridge, and continues beside the Golden Horn before returning. The profile has almost no meaningful elevation change. Turns and wind along the water are the main disruptions to a steady pace.
Weather for the Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Half Marathon
Mid-April can be cool and quick, but sun, humidity, and a breeze off the Marmara Sea may all build during the morning. The exposed return toward Yenikapı can feel warmer than the start. Runners should use the flat profile to stay controlled rather than overreach early.
