We invite you to an extraordinary adventure in Cappadocia!
Athletes participating in the race on the Viranşehir-Otel Karbeyaz route, which is one of the mountain biking, road cycling, and hiking routes in Aksaray, will fiercely compete with their parachutes on their backs until they reach the magnificent Hasan Mountain takeoff point, passing by the ancient city of Nora and the arched church.
In the hiking route, athletes are required to pass through designated points. This ensures that they do not deviate from the route.
Once the athlete reaches the takeoff point, they will have completed the first part of the competition and proceed to the flight phase.
The athletes who take off with paragliding from the takeoff point will fly along the route determined by the committee. Paragliding athletes will safely land near Selime Cathedral as they fly over the Ihlara Valley. The movements of the athletes in the air will be monitored live. This ensures both the prevention of deviating from the route and the safe conduct of the competition.
The landing athletes, after collecting their parachutes, fiercely compete along the Selime-Belisırma-Ihlara Valley route, shaped by the Melendiz River, which welcomes hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. The winners are determined upon reaching the finishing point located in Ihlara Village, along with the athletes who have reached there.
Hike & fly competitions combine the thrill of mountaineering with the freedom of paragliding, offering a unique and challenging experience for adventure enthusiasts.
In these competitions, participants embark on a thrilling journey that tests both their physical endurance and flying prowess. The adventure begins with a challenging ascent, as competitors hike up rugged terrains, scaling mountains, and conquering steep slopes. This demanding trek demands stamina, determination, and a love for the great outdoors.
