Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race Organizing Committee

The Bosphorus Committee of TOC organizes the Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race every July under the auspices of Turkish Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee under the theme of "Sports For Everyone" and with the slogan of "Two Continents, One Race." The international event brings local and international athletes of all ages together and has gained international reputation thanks to its scope, strategic importance and successful history. The enchanting atmosphere of Istanbul, the only city in the world straddling two continents, attracts hundreds of participants from all over the world to Turkey every year. As the first and the only race in the world that is held between two continents, the Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race attracts a lot of attention from the foreign press. The event receives extensive coverage in the media every year, filling newspaper columns and TV screens. The Committee also organizes a ‘Photo Contest’, open to both amateur and professional photographers.
