Possibly the sole organised marathon in the world that commences in one part of the world and ends in another, the Bosphorus race is a special undertaking. The race itself allows participants to take in the metropolis's heritage, passing by both contemporary and ancient monuments. The commencement is particularly breathtaking, with countless runners moving west across the imposing 15 July Martyrs Bridge as the strait laps below. The course then continues to the waterfront and onwards to the waterside avenue skirting the edge of the waterway. Looking up while jogging, you are met with a city skyline adorned with elegant towers glinting in the sunlight. The finish line awaits, where refreshing Turkish tea, appetisers, and sweet figs offered by cheering onlookers reward all participants.

Ethical preparation is crucial for a successful and ethical climb.

The journey up Kilimanjaro via the western approach leads adventurers through lush jungles, vast highland, and otherworldly high-altitude zones. Wildlife such as primates, buck, and beautiful avian species can often be spotted. Altitude impacts everyone differently, but choosing a longer schedule significantly improves adaptation and makes the summit achievable for most trained hikers. It is important to note that not all tour operators uphold fair practices. Certain offer quick treks that compromise necessary acclimatisation and could underpay their local staff. Conducting thorough investigation to find a ethical outfitter that guarantees fair compensation, adequate equipment, and career development for its team is paramount.
