18/04/2022   Mardin (TUR): First edition of the inter-league race waking concentration






 

 

 

An interesting day of march that of Saturday 16 April 2022 in Mardin (TUR).
 
Mardin is a city known for its Arab architecture and its strategic location. Its altitude, in fact (1.083m above sea level), allows it to dominate the underlying region from its rocky spurs. The border with Syria is a few kilometers south of Mardin, which remains a melting pot of different religions living together.
Its population, of 86.948 people, is very heterogeneous, counting Arabs, Assyrians, and Kurds. About half of the population, however, is of Arab ethnicity.
Mardin is an Aramaic word meaning "fortress".
 
The Turkish Athletics Federation wanted Martin to host the first inter-league walking concentration from the U16 to the Senior categories with individual and team standings.
The distance was that of 5km for the U18, U20 and senior categories, while for the U16s it was competed on 3km.
