General information about us
Edirne Nature Sports Club Association was founded in Edirne as an association on 30 December 2005 and registered as a sports club. Our aim is to hold the events and activities designed for or by our members in the field of nature sports, to initiate the attendance of professional athletes, to attract children and teenagers to be more active and attend sports activities. Furthermore, to organize professional or amateur activities of nature sports held in nature while adopting peaceful lifestyle in nature instead of ignoring it. Another one is to contribute the nature by organizing informative activities about it and protecting nature and the environment by supporting sustainable activities and events. EDOSK works as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in respect with social life and nature of Edirne and Thrace region.

EDOSK has the intention to encourage people of all ages to do sport and also to increase the number of registered athletes.
EDOSK is a club for adults and athletes but at the same time it is a youth organization. The club leads and attends many activities and projects related to young people. It is one of the most active associations in the Thrace region, especially in terms of European youth projects. Dozens of young people had the opportunity to visit a European country thanks to youth projects in which EDOSK was a partner. The club always supports activities and cooperation projects related to youth. Our club also gives an opportunity to people who are not members of our club to join activities as guest participants.
By the organization of events such as cycling, hiking, and camps, especially, in the area of Strandja Mountains, hundreds of people get the opportunity to spend valuable time in nature. Our club continues to contribute to eco-tourism in this area.
