BTF MARATHON 2026
Inspired by the Istanbul Marathon, the BTF Marathon invites communities everywhere to come together, get moving, and raise funds for Türkiye. Host a run, walk, hike, or activity of your own and rally your friends, family, or coworkers around a shared goal.
Together, we’re working to raise $65,000, with a special focus on expanding scholarship opportunities for students across Türkiye. Every team and activity brings us closer to the finish line.
