Gdańsk Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Energa Gdańsk Maraton is a road marathon in Gdańsk, Poland, held in April and first run in 2015. The ninth edition is on Sunday 25 April 2027, and the race weekend also has a 5 km run, a four-person marathon relay and a junior marathon. The marathon starts at 9:00 a.m. in waves at Polsat Plus Arena Gdańsk, which is also the finish, and the course is certified by the Polish Athletics Association (PZLA). The 2026 route was rebuilt to avoid narrow points at the shipyard and the Holy Spirit gate, and it passed the European Solidarity Centre, the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers, St Mary's Basilica, the Green Gate, Neptune's Fountain and the main railway station. The time limit is 5 hours 30 minutes, with intermediate cut-offs from 20 km, all counted from the start signal of the last wave. Runners must be 18 or older on race day. The men's course record is 2:22:14, set by Arkadiusz Gardzielewski in 2026, and the women's record is 2:49:05, set by Lidia Czarnecka in 2019. Nearly 2,500 runners from 49 countries finished in 2026, including relay runners.
