Istanbul will host the second edition of this international series on Sunday, with cyclists linking Asia and Europe on a unique route.
Regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious cycling experiences, the event starts at Beykoz Sports Forest (Beykoz Spor Ormanı) and offers participants a scenic yet challenging route through Istanbul’s iconic landscapes. The main 105 km route starts at Beykoz Sports Forest, crosses the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, passes Sirantepe and reaches Riva via Kavacık, offering unrivalled views of both the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea.
A shorter 50 km route is also available for cyclists wanting a lighter experience, while still offering the thrill of riding between two continents.
