This 7-day running adventure through Cappadocia, in central Turkey, culminates in your choice of four epic distances through landscapes so surreal they'll make your mind melt and so inspiring they'll carry you beyond those cruel end-miles when willpower alone isn't enough. Created with FRC Austin, this retreat combines progressive trail training with the numinous beauty of fairy chimneys, archaic valleys, subterranean cities, and volcanic landscapes, transforming ultra-running from exercise into a gentle meditation. Choose your adventure from a 119km ultra-marathon, 63km, 34km or a 16km trail run based on your goals and fitness level. There are no treadmills here — simply Austin running club members becoming race-ready through extraordinary landscapes that transform distance running from an endurance test to almost a moving pilgrimage. When you're not running, you'll be ascending in a hot air balloon at sunrise, horse-riding at sunset, and exploring rock-carved churches buried within extinct cities. Cappadocia is your training ground, your inspiration, and your proof that the right environment makes impossible distances feel achievable.
