The Cracovia Maraton is Kraków's spring marathon, held in April. It is run on a Sunday, starts at 9:00 on the Main Market Square and finishes on the Main Market Square, as it has since 2014. The first edition was run on 11 May 2002, starting on Grodzka Street and finishing at the Main Square after a route through the Old Town, along the Vistula boulevards and over the Błonia meadow. The course is certified by the Polish Athletics Federation, World Athletics and AIMS. Runners have a time limit of 6 hours from the start line, and the starting gate closes around 20 minutes after the gun. The competition office is at the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium on Reymonta Street. The 2026 edition, the 23rd, took place on 19 April and a record 6,669 runners finished, the best result in the event's history. The next edition will be the 24th. The organisers' motto since the first race has been Z historią w tle, 'With history in the background'.
