Experience the thrill of the Istanbul Marathon, the world’s only intercontinental marathon, or the challenging but rewarding 15k race. Both courses offer stunning views, starting in Asia and crossing the Bosphorus to the European finish line.

Join IF Charity and raise vital funds for Winter Aid in Gaza. Your participation supports a worthy cause while you achieve your running goals.

Dates: Friday 31st October- Tuesday 4th November 2025

Fundraising Target: £500

Run with Purpose!

Winter is approaching fast, and the people of Gaza – most of whom are now living in makeshift tents- face the prospect of colder nights with little protection. Without proper shelter, warm clothing, or heating, the coming months will bring yet more hardship to families who have already endured so much.

At IF Charity, we are working urgently to prepare. But we need your help to do more.

Sign up to run in the Istanbul Marathon between 31 October and 4 November, and raise £500 for our Winter Aid appeal. Your efforts will help provide winter clothing, thermal blankets, heaters and better-insulated shelter materials for displaced families across Gaza.
