Back in Gaziantep
Following two successful editions and after a year of interruption due to pandemic, Gazi Half Marathon returns on 19 December.
The event, successfully staged in 2018 and 2019 by Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, features also a 10km this year. The races will be run from 9:00 on Sunday morning, 19 December. Registration will remain open until Monday, 13 December unless the quota of 2,000 entrants is reached sooner. The online entry form is available at www.gaziyarimaratonu.org.
The winners of the 3rd Gazi Half Marathon will be awarded 12 thousand Turkish Liras each while the top finishers in the 10km will pocket 6 thousand Liras. Both races offer cash prizes for the master athletes as well. Any athlete who breaks the course record of 1:03:54 in men and 1:15:37 in women held by Sezgin Ataç and Esma Aydemir respectively will receive an additional 3 thousand Liras. The prize money in the Gazi Half Marathon is on offer for Turkish citizens only.
Since it is the 100th anniversary of the liberation of the city, the event is of great importance this year, and the organisers entrusted the timing and ranking in all categories to Depar Timing. A team of eight expert timers will travel to Gaziantep with four timing boards delivered from the Depar Timing Headquarters in Istanbul. Depar Timing’s services in the event include the immediate posting of the results on the LED screen and the provision of the finishers’ certificates via internet.
