From the woods to the island…

The Cross Challenge race in İstanbul’s oldest forest on the Black

Sea was held in two categories - 7.1 km and 14.2 km. “Tekfen on the

Double” team came in second in the Corporate Category of the 7.1 km

race. Soon after this unexpected but brilliant result, our team of 30

athletes participated in the New Balance Semi-Marathon and 10 km

Run in the beautiful setting of the Aegean island of Bozcaada on May

13. Amateur and professional athletes from all over Turkey ran in the

race. Cihan Atbaş (Tekfen Engineering) from the Tekfen team ran the

semi-marathon, while Hakan Sayar (Toros Agri) ran the 10-km race,

placing 25th in the overall ranking and first in his age group.

“Tekfen on the Double” team can’t stand still! Tekfen’s Running Team entered two races this spring, the Cross Challenge held in İstanbul’s

largest forest on April 2, and the New Balance race on the island of Bozcaada on May 13.

AND GOAL!

With a fervour that grows every passing year, the

Tekfen Soccer Tournament was held for the third

time between May 2 and 22. Each game was

cutthroat, and “Metal Terzileri” (Metal Tailors) took

the championship trophy for the third time.

The 3rd Traditional Tekfen Soccer Tournament was as exciting as

regular soccer leagues, and the five teams competing this year gave

the audiences plenty to watch. The tournament was organized with

the participation of Tekfen employees in İstanbul and the neighbour-

ing regions; this year’s champion, as in the two previous years, was

“Metal Terzileri” from the Derince Plant of Tekfen Manufacturing. After

cutthroat games, the tournament ended with the following ranking:

1.

Metal Terzileri

(Metal Tailors) / Tekfen Manufacturing, Derince Plant

2.

Kule Gücü

(Tower Power) / Tekfen Holding, Tekfen Manufacturing,

Tekfen Construction, Tekfen Engineering, Toros Agri (mixed team)

3.

4.

5.

After the tournament, the teams and individual players who
