Aladağlar Sky Trail - Volunteering - August 2024

The trip to Aladaglar mountains in the heart of Turkey, to volunteer in Aladaglar Sky Trail. This race, the people organizing it, these mountains have given me so much, that I absolutely wanted to give something back, as much as I could. 

August 08 2024 - 19:05 - Arrival to Demirkazık village

We started the drive from Ankara around 15. Driving through the new highway, we arrived in around 4 hours to the Demirkazık village. I was happy to be back after years.



09 2024 - 13:05 - Hike to Karasay peak (3550 m) – and back to Çelikbuyduran fork

August 10 2024 - 02:37 - Hike to Karasay peak

I didn’t have enough sleep. The adrenaline of thinking about the next day was too much. The hike went smoother than expected.

August 10 2024 - 9:10 - Run to Kocadölek checkpoint along the race route

The actual duty of me starts, namely running the route until I find the last runner of the longer route (Alaca) and accompanying them. My route was from Karasay peak to the Kocadölek checkpoint.

My route continued from Karasay to Sarı Memedin Yurdu, Teke Kırı, climb to Alaca peak (3588 m).
