ETİ Lifalif International Eskişehir Half Marathon & Sports Festival

Eskişehir will turn running into a full city celebration on August 15–16, 2026, as the ETI Lifalif International Eskişehir Half Marathon & Sports Festival brings athletes, families, and visitors together in one of Türkiye’s most energetic urban destinations. The weekend will begin on August 15 with the Sports Festival and Kids Run, then continue on August 16 with the Half Marathon and 10K races.

Set in a city where history, art, student life, and green spaces meet, the event will offer runners more than a finish line. The course atmosphere will carry Eskişehir’s signature rhythm, with the Porsuk River, lively streets, parks, and city landmarks shaping the experience. Whether you are chasing a personal best or joining the 10K for the joy of the run, Eskişehir will make every kilometer feel connected to the city.

And the weekend will be just as strong for visitors. Between race moments, you can walk through Odunpazarı’s historic streets, visit OMM – Odunpazarı Modern Museum, enjoy the cafés along the Porsuk, take a gondola or boat ride, or explore Sazova and Kentpark. Then let the city’s flavors complete the trip: çibörek, balaban kebab, met helvası, and a long Eskişehir evening. Even if you are not running, you will still want to be here—because Eskişehir turns a race weekend into a young, colorful, art-filled city escape where sport, culture, and local flavor move together.
