If you have a seven days to devote and a desire to explore the more peaceful parts of the Alps in summer, the mountain race series presents an ideal option. Races range from a sprint to an extraordinary ultra-marathon along some of Switzerland's finest high-altitude routes. Selecting the 100km distance meant disappearing into a landscape of barely trodden summits, challenging scree slopes, and vivid alpine tarns.

This one-of-a-kind event connects two parts of the world.

Possibly the sole organised marathon in the world that starts in one continent and concludes in another, the Istanbul Marathon is a special experience. The race itself enables participants to take in the location's culture, running alongside both new and time-honoured landmarks. The beginning is especially spectacular, with countless runners moving west across the grand suspension bridge as the strait laps below. The course then leads to a district and onwards to the coastal road following the edge of the waterway. Looking up while jogging, participants are greeted by a metropolitan vista showcasing soaring minarets glinting in the daylight. The conclusion beckons, where refreshing Turkish tea, appetisers, and ripe fruit provided by cheering volunteers greet all participants.

Entrants are welcomed upon finishing by enthusiastic crowds, with a hearty post-race lunch frequently on offer.

Climbing the Great Peak the Right Way

Careful planning is crucial for a successful and fair trek.

The trek up Kilimanjaro via the western approach leads adventurers through dense jungles, open highland, and stark rocky landscapes. Creatures such as primates, gazelle, and exotic birds can often be observed. Altitude affects everyone differently, but choosing a extended schedule dramatically increases acclimatisation and makes the peak possible for fit prepared walkers. Be aware that many tour operators maintain responsible practices. Certain offer shortened trips that compromise adequate well-being and often mistreat their support crew. Conducting thorough investigation to select a responsible operator that ensures good wages, adequate gear, and training for its team is highly recommended.
