Registration is limited to 300 participants, and the quota is usually filled 4 weeks before the event or earlier.
In Eker I Run races, no separate category is created for Paralympic, disabled, or special athletes. All athletes who meet the physical and mental requirements of a given race distance may participate equally and are included in the general and age group rankings. For the safety of participants and the integrity of the race, each course has a limited quota for Paralympic, disabled, and special athletes. Individuals who meet the classifications outlined in the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athlete Classification Guide are eligible for this quota.
The quota is 20 participants for the 5K race and 5 participants for each of the other races.
For the 5K race, participants presenting a valid disability certificate, Paralympic license, or special athlete ID are eligible for free registration within the quota. For other races, a 50% discount on the registration fee is applied. The registration conditions also apply to a guide runner, if the athlete requires one.
To register as a Paralympic, disabled, or special athlete, please send an email to yaris@maceraakademisi.com. After verification, you will receive a code to complete your registration.
