CAPPADOCIA 2026 - What are the distances and the type of terrain in Cappadocia ?

The exact distances are kept secret until the MDS, the participants will be able to discover them at the time of the distribution of the Roadbook during the technical controls the day before the departure of the first stage.

 

Nevertheless, we propose 3 formats spread over 3 stages:

- Format 1: 70 km*

- Format 2: 100 km*

- Format 3: 120 km*

 

- Stage 1: Approximately 25 to 30 km

- Stage 2: 20 km or 40 km or 60 km (depending on the chosen format)

- Stage 3: Approximately 25 to 30 km

 

The stages of the MDS are to be covered at your own pace: walking or running.

It's mostly a rolling playground with slightly less sand than other MDS. The ground is largely composed of rock.

 

* These distances are indicative and may fluctuate depending on the type of terrain and elevation gain.
