IAAF Label On Target In Mersin

International Mersin Marathon aims at the IAAF Bronze Label for next year. The event will be held on Sunday, 3 December.

Having been granted “5 stars”, the highest rank awarded for road races by European Athletics, shortly after its first edition in 2015, Mersin Marathon is running for the IAAF Label in its third year. On 3 December, the organisers will host an IAAF Technical Delegate who will evaluate the race. In case the event meets the various IAAF criteria from timing services to medical measures, it will be staged under the IAAF Bronze Label in 2018.

3rd International Mersin Marathon incorporates a 15km race and 5km public run as well. Entries are processed via the official website of the event at www.mersinmaraton.org. Timing services in Mersin will once again be provided by Depar Timing.
