Salomon Cappadocia Ultra Trail 63Km CMT - Race Report
Date: 15th October 2023 Location: Ürgüp, Cappadocia, Turkey Race Distance: 63Km …THE BEGINNING: Spring/Summer 2023… Before jumping into the report, I will share the behind the scenes that took me to this unforgettable run. For every race I sign up for, there is a story behind, and this one started at the end of April 2023 when I met Yunus. I already knew who he was, but that was the first time that we met in person. After re-introducing myself, my first thought was “he seems an ok guy”, my second thought was “I love his jacket!”. You may not know Yunus, but one thing is certain here, he’s not famous for his highly fashioned outfits. However, that day combined with his typical WWF t-shirt he was wearing the Cappadocia Ultra Trail finisher’s jacket. Of course, that detail didn’t go unseen, and – very typical of me - I started asking questions curious to know if Yunus really ran the race. I discovered that he did for real and that he will run 3 more big ultras of >100km each this summe
