Course & Elevation
The Belgrade Marathon is the Serbian capital's marathon, held on a Sunday in April, and the 2027 edition on 18 April is the 40th. In 2027 it doubles as the European Running Championships, with the half marathon on Saturday 17 April and the marathon at 8:00 on Sunday; the organisers expect more than 25,000 participants over the weekend. The first modern Belgrade marathon was run on 8 May 1988; a race in 1910 from Obrenovac to Belgrade was its inspiration. In 2026, for the first time, the races were split across two days and the start and finish of all three races were moved to Republic Square in the centre of the city. The marathon takes in streets from Kraljice Marije and Bulevar kralja Aleksandra through Slavija and Karađorđeva, across the Ada Bridge to New Belgrade and the Ušće park, and returns over Branko's Bridge to finish in Republic Square. The time limit is six hours. The men's course record is 2:09:11, set by Gemsisa Gada in 2026, and the women's is 2:26:48, set by Deborah Sang in 2025.
