Tartu City Marathon 2025 returns on October 4, bringing thousands of runners to Estonia’s second-largest city for a one-day celebration of endurance, culture, and autumn beauty. The event features three distances: the full marathon starting at 9:30 AM, the half marathon at 11:00 AM, and the 10 km city run at 2:00 PM, all departing from Vabaduse Street. The marathon course is a single-lap route, guiding runners through Tartu’s Old Town, along the scenic Emajõgi River, and into the leafy districts of Toomemägi, Karlova, and Supilinn. Organized by Club Tartu Maraton and certified by AIMS, the event also includes pre-race activities such as a Friday Night Run and children’s events like the MINI marathon and TILLUrace. With a festive atmosphere, well-supported routes, and a vibrant finish line experience, Tartu City Marathon is among the top autumn races in Northern Europe.
