TWO events aimed at stretching the resort’s season a little bit longer will be held over September 29-30.

The Didim Runs – ostensibly called Marathons by the local media – but in fact will be 10Km and 21km in length.

The route, rewards and program of Didimarathon will see entrants coming forward to register on Saturday September  29. They need to be registered by 12 o’clock.

A series of fun activities will be held on Saturday September 29, before the main events on Sunday September 30.

Athletes will congregate at 7am ready for an 8am start at Cumhuriyet Square.

Following the end of the races, the awards ceremony will be held at 12pm and entertainment and various activities will continue throughout the day.

The start and end of both the 21km and 10km will be at Republic Square. Both routes will largely be around the Altinkum, Ataturk Caddesi , Ege Caddesi, Menderes Boulevard, Third Beach and Apollon Temple  areas.

A prize of 3,000TL will be awarded to the winner of 21km race, 2,000TL for second and 1,000TL for third. The first three of the 10km will receive holidays stays at local hotels.
