On 19 April 2026, the Cracovia Maraton returns for another edition in Kraków, a city known for its rich history and architectural charm. The event provides runners the opportunity to tackle a certified 42.195 km road course that starts and finishes in the renowned Main Market Square, passing by medieval streets, royal castles, and modern riverfront boulevards. In addition to the full marathon, races over 10 km and 4.2 km offer accessible options for those seeking shorter distances, all staged across the same iconic cityscape. The route is largely flat and designed for both personal-best seekers and first-time marathoners, wrapped in a festive urban running atmosphere. With strong international participation and comprehensive race logistics (chip timing, age-group awards, hydration stations), this event combines performance, culture, and tourism into one memorable weekend.
