Tbilisi Marathon

Course & Elevation

TbilisiMarathon is a charity road race in the centre of Georgia's capital whose main event is a half marathon of 21.097 km; despite its name, no full marathon is run. A 10 km race and children's runs for ages 5 to 10 and 11 to 15 take place on the same day, usually the last Sunday of September. The race is a social initiative organised by the cement producer HeidelbergCement, and the first edition was held in 2012, with the second in 2013 around the Tbilisi Sea. It now runs on the central streets of the city, starting traditionally at First Republic Square, looping through the centre and finishing at the same place. The half marathon consists of two identical loops, the second with an extra kilometre, and the 10 km is one loop. The half marathon and the 10 km are AIMS-recognised and certified to international standards. Because of rehabilitation work on Rustaveli Avenue, the 2026 route ran on neighbouring streets, including Mikheil Javakhishvili, Revaz Tabukashvili, the embankment, Vakhtang Gorgasali, Gia Gulia and Soliko Virsaladze streets. About 3,500 adults and 500 children registered for the 2025 edition, a record.
