The Tirana Marathon, currently the Wizz Air Tirana Marathon, is a road race through the Albanian capital, organised by the Municipality of Tirana in collaboration with the Athletics Federation of Albania. A first international marathon was held in Tirana on 21 October 2012 as part of the centenary of Albanian independence, and the 2026 race is billed as the tenth edition. It is usually run on a Sunday in October, with a marathon, a half marathon, a 10K and a 5K city run, and a We Too race for people with disabilities. The marathon, half marathon and 10K start together at 09:00. In 2025 every distance started and finished at Skanderbeg Square, the main square of Tirana. Earlier courses used the city centre and the bike lake at Lake Park, with the half marathon doing two laps of the loop that the 10K ran once. The 2026 edition was moved to mid-November. The previous edition welcomed over 4,000 participants from Albania, Poland, Ukraine, Kosovo and Austria, among other countries.
