Since 2019
Mersin
Running
Mersin Running is one of the city's long-standing running communities, starting in 2019 and gaining official form that same year as the Mersin Running and Nature Sports Club Association. The team keeps running going not only through weekly meet-ups but with more planned training and race goals.
When and where do they run?
Not only a weekly
meet-up
Their programme includes interval, tempo, fartlek, strength and stretching work alongside easy runs. Because different speed groups are formed, runners can train with a team better suited to their own level. To join the club you first need to get in touch and fill in a registration form. Being over 18 is expected, while they make a point of saying that people who have not yet run 30 minutes without stopping can also contact the team.
Mersin Running's programme is not made up of track sessions alone. They also hold weekend meet-ups using different running and walking routes in the city. On top of that, they prepare for marathons and ultramarathons as a team and take part in various races with their members.
The social side of the runs is an important part of the club culture too. From time to time they combine training with social meet-ups and other events. You can follow current running programmes, route changes and events on their Instagram account.
Alongside easy runs there are interval, tempo, fartlek, strength and stretching sessions.
