The Ağlasun-to-Gölcük Sky Marathon and qualification check
The event’s Sky Ultra name covers several races, but this guide concerns the 42.3 km Sky Marathon. Its date, start, finish and qualification rules differ from shorter races and the Sunday vertical-kilometre event. Select the correct category before paying and use the Sky Marathon’s own course map and checkpoints.
The organizer requires a qualifying race over 30 km with more than 2,000 metres of climbing, or its specified Sagalassos Sky Race, within the previous twenty-four months. The page says results are checked through ITRA on October 31, with a move to a shorter course if the requirement is not met. Confirm how your result is assessed before assuming the entry is final.
The basic kit is more extensive than ordinary road-marathon equipment. It includes a reachable phone, reusable drinking vessel, at least one litre of water at departure from each control, working light with backup and protective clothing. Read the complete current list and practise carrying it; a summary cannot replace the organizer’s gear check.
The page also specifies a cold-weather kit and instructs participants to bring those items unless the organizer announces otherwise. Check the technical briefing and final weather notice before departure. With substantial climbing and a different finish location, plan effort around terrain and arrange the permitted transfer between Ağlasun and Gölcük. Follow checkpoint or withdrawal instructions if progress falls outside the supported window, and do not substitute the longer race’s schedule for the 42.3 km plan.
