Depar Timing gave support to the race held in the name of Şükrü Saban, one of the legendary names of Turkish athletics.
Odunpazarı Municipality, the organiser of the event, brought together Şükrü Saban, who will celebrate his 86th birthday in four days, with the athletes of his time and the young generation. Saban, nine times national champion in 10000 meters between 1960 and 1969 and eight-time winner of the Great Atatürk Run during the same years, gave the start of the races together with Odunpazarı Mayor Kazım Kurt and his fellow athletes.
While timing was done manually in the Şükrü Saban Road Race, which was limited to a total of 500 participants, support services were provided by Depar Timing.

Mersin Is Back
Following a long hiatus since 2018 when it was last staged, International Mersin Marathon is set to reemerge on 10 December.
Within the short period of four years from 2015 to 2018, the International Mersin Marathon had been first granted the Bronze Label, then upgraded to Silver by the world’s governing body in athletics. The event, in an attempt to change its season, was postponed from December 2019 to March 2020, however, it could not be held due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The following two years, 2021 and 2022, were also subject to cancellations. Returning to the running stage with a World Athletics Elite Label on 10 December, the race is moved on a flatter and faster course. In its first four editions, the women’s fastest time in Mersin were achieved by Kenyan Truphena Chepchirchir with 2:28:47 in 2017, and by her compatriot Kenneth Kiplagat Limo on the men’s side by 2:10:12 in 2018.
5th International Mersin Marathon includes a 10km race and a Public Run over 5km on the day. Detailed information and registration system can be accessed at www.mbbspor.org. Timing services at the event will be provided by Depar Timing.
