Runfire Salt Lake Ultra Trail, held on the mesmerizing white surface of Turkey’s Salt Lake, offers an unforgettable experience for every level of runner with categories ranging from 10KM to 160KM.

Born in 2012 as Turkey’s second multi-stage ultra marathon following the Likya Yolu Ultra Marathon, the most challenging stage of Runfire Cappadocia evolved into a single-stage ultra race on the Salt Lake course starting in 2016. These races, which played a pioneering role in the development of ultra running culture in Turkey, have brought together thousands of runners over the years, uniting the spirit of adventure with the captivating nature of Salt Lake.

Runfire Salt Lake Ultra Trail features 7 different race categories:
10K, 10K Team Race, 15K Day & Night, 20K, 40K, 80K, and 100 Miles (160K).
Blending sport and nature, the event offers a memorable experience for participants of all levels. The purpose of Runfire is not only to challenge runners physically, but also to create an atmosphere where the rhythm, silence and power of nature can be deeply felt.

Every year, hundreds of local and international athletes experience the surreal feeling of running across the bright white surface of Salt Lake. With its ever changing landscapes throughout the day, this extraordinary region combined with the festival like atmosphere of the camp area, stage programs, music, and side activities turns Runfire into much more than a race.

As the event takes place in a sensitive ecosystem like Salt Lake, environmental awareness is prioritized in every stage of the organisation. The Runfire team is committed to sustainability principles and works diligently to help protect this unique natural area.

Rooted in Cappadocia, shaped by the spirit of Salt Lake, and powered by the strength of its runners, this remarkable journey continues to grow with every step.
