KAÇKAR 50K
A challenge worthy of Kaçkar: powerful, wild, and unforgettable.
Covering 50 km with over 2,800 m of elevation gain, the Kaçkar 50K delivers all the raw mountain magic without pushing into the extreme demands of the 100K.
You’ll race through lush forests, climb above the clouds to Kemer Dağı, and pass Hazindak and Samistal Plateaus, where 300-year-old stone houses tell stories of resilience. The terrain is rugged, the air is crisp, and the beauty is disarming.
It’s a course that challenges every stride yet rewards every view, a perfect distance for strong and curious trail runners who want to feel Kaçkar’s untamed power without crossing into the edge of exhaustion.
