Bodrun Ultra 59.5 km (Bodrun 60K) is a coastal trail race held each February in Muğla Province, Turkey, starting and finishing in Bodrum on the Aegean. The 2027 edition is confirmed for February 14, 2027. The course covers 59.5 km with 1,957 m of gain (32.9 m/km) across rocky Aegean ridgelines, sea views, and Bodrum's coastal blue-and-green terrain. The course opens hard: back-to-back climbs totalling 363m are packed into the first 10km, with max gradients of 32.8% and 35.7% on rocky coastal ascents.
The defining late-race test is Descent 1 at km 55.86: 262m over 2.5 km at −10.5% average and −38.3% maximum — the course's biggest drop, arriving 4km from the finish. Entry costs €0.52/km (1,550 TRY at 2026 pricing). Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) is 36 minutes from the start. UTMB-indexed and ITRA-certified, the race had 49 UTMB-tracked finishers in 2025. It suits destination runners who want Aegean coastal trails in mild February sunshine — a course where the geography, not the altitude, is the draw.
