The Salomon Cappadocia Short Trail (CST) offers 38km through the heart of Cappadocia's UNESCO-listed landscape, including Göreme, Pigeon Valley, Üchisar, and Love Valley. With a 7-hour cutoff and a 10:00 start, it's the most accessible of the Cappadocia Ultra Trail's three distances — suitable for trail runners making their first foray into this iconic Turkish destination.
