Course & Elevation
The Kyiv Marathon, currently the PrivatBank Kyiv Unbroken Marathon, is Ukraine's largest marathon, organised by the running organisation Run Ukraine and normally held in Kyiv in October. In 2026 the 17th edition was held on 24 and 25 October in Khmelnytskyi, the first time in its history outside the capital, because of the deteriorating security situation in Kyiv. The marathon, half marathon, 4×10 km relay, 10K and 5K ran on Sunday 25 October, with a mile and children's races on the Saturday. More than 11,000 runners registered, of whom about 4,300 ran in Khmelnytskyi and the rest ran in other places in Ukraine and abroad through an online option. When held in Kyiv the start and finish are at Sportyvna Square. The 2026 race included the Ukrainian marathon championship, and half of the profit goes to support the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine; more than 1.5 million hryvnias was raised in 2026. Artur Shchipanovskyi won the men's marathon in 2:23:43 and Olha Nyzhnyk the women's in 2:39:54. No date or venue for the 2027 race has been announced.
