Varda Ultra Trail

VARDA ULTRA TRAIL
EVERY TRAIL HAS ITS OWN STORY…

The Varda Ultra Trail, brought to life by Adana Running Club (ARC), is not merely a race; it is a reflection of a powerful bond with nature, history and human willpower. The inspiration for this extraordinary run is the Varda Bridge, standing proudly in the heart of the Taurus Mountains and reaching beyond time with its 112-year-old grandeur.

For over a century, this engineering masterpiece has bridged valleys, and when combined with ARC's passion for sports and deep connection to the region, it gave life to this special event. What began as an exciting first step has grown with the strength of its supporters and the enthusiasm of its participants; today, in its 3rd year, it has become one of the must-attend events on the outdoor sports calendar.

Varda Ultra Trail consists of three different courses:

Bridge Trail (BRT-14K): An accessible and enjoyable route for beginners

Belemedik Trail (TRT-27K): A challenging yet rewarding stage for those seeking an intermediate-level experience

Varda Ultra Trail (VUT-59K): A true ultra trail experience for those who want to push their limits

In this race, where every step takes you past history-soaked stones, endless landscapes, and the raw beauty of nature, you follow the path of the Varda Bridge—a celebration of the human spirit and resilience.
