Kemer, Turkey · 27 km · 2,600 m+
The Corendon Tahtalı Run to Sky is one of the most iconic uphill skyrunning challenges in the Skyrunner World Series. Starting near sea level on the Mediterranean coast of Kemer, this point-to-peak (PTP) Skyrace® takes runners all the way to the summit of Mount Tahtalı. With 2,600 m+ of climbing over 27 km, the race blends coastal forest trails, steep rocky slopes and high alpine terrain, making it one of the most dramatic vertical challenges on the calendar.
The Corendon Tahtalı Run to Sky begins at the Mediterranean coastline and climbs relentlessly into the Olympos mountain range before ascending the exposed rocky slopes of Mount Tahtalı.
The route transitions from warm coastal forest paths to cooler, rugged alpine terrain as runners gain altitude, finishing at one of Turkey’s most famous summits. With steep gradients, rapidly changing temperatures and constant climbing, this race is an unforgettable point-to-peak challenge that pushes endurance and vertical strength to the limit.
Kemer is easily accessible via Antalya, with athletes typically flying into Antalya Airport before transferring along the coastal highway to the race start area.
Antalya Airport (AYT) – Closest and main international airport
Dalaman Airport (DLM) – Secondary option for regional connections
Istanbul (IST) – Major hub with domestic flights to Antalya
Accommodation is plentiful along the coastline, with the most convenient options located in Kemer, Tekirova and Çamyuva, offering easy access to the race start and the trails leading up Mount Tahtalı.
