Run Club
Today Run Club is one of İstanbul’s biggest running communities: it has more than 10,000 followers on Instagram and holds five or six separate meet-ups a week. What sets it apart is organisation. You join by booking through the club’s own app, Today Run Club Official, check-in is verified at the meeting point, and every run opens separate pace groups led by pacers.

The weekly backbone is largely fixed. On Monday evenings there is a city run in Maçka, on Thursdays a track session called “Today Track” at the Kenan Onuk track in Maltepe, and on Saturday mornings a run along the Suadiye seafront. On Sundays the route leaves the city for trail runs on dirt paths such as Polonezköy and Aydos Forest. Distances range from a 3-kilometre walk-run up to 15 kilometres, and the club stresses that its walk-run crew for first-timers is present at every event.
Most meet-ups start and finish at a café, where bags can be left and the post-run chat carries on. The club asks runners to come in a white T-shirt or a Today shirt and sets a few simple rules, such as no smoking in the event area. Besides the weekly schedule, its website has route pages with GPX files, a race calendar and a beginners’ guide.
The weekly runs are free. If you are joining for the first time, the best move is to download the app and Strava, book in advance and arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes early.
Our walk-run crew for first-timers is at every event.
