The Wrocław Marathon, run from 1983 to 2019, was a road marathon in the capital of Lower Silesia and has not been held since the COVID-19 cancellation of 2020. It began on 15 May 1983 as the Maraton Ślężan, a point-to-point run from Sobótka to Wrocław, and the first ten editions kept that name. Over the years the race moved entirely inside the city boundaries and took its title sponsor's name, PKO Wrocław Maraton. It was held in September and counted among the races of the Polish Marathon Crown. In its last editions the start was at the Olympic Stadium and the finish was inside the stadium, with a single circuit through the city between the two. The final edition, the 37th, took place on Sunday 15 September 2019, when 3,151 runners finished and Kenya's Cosmas Mutuku Kyeva won in 2:13:32, a few seconds short of the course record set in 2002. The 38th edition was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic and the marathon did not return. Wrocław's main road race is now the Night Wrocław Half Marathon, held in June. In December 2025 the city's deputy mayor named September 2027 as her target for a restart on the historic route from Sobótka, but in June 2026 the city's youth sports centre said that reviving the marathon remained on hold, and no date has been announced.

The Race
Wrocław
The first marathon was held on 15 May 1983 under the name Maraton Ślężan and ran from Sobótka to Wrocław. The first ten editions kept that name. Over time the race moved entirely within the city's administrative boundaries, gained PKO Bank Polski as title sponsor and became part of the Polish Marathon Crown.
On 15 September 2019, 3,151 runners finished the 37th PKO Wrocław Maraton. Cosmas Mutuku Kyeva of Kenya won in 2:13:32, four seconds short of the course record from 2002, and Hungary's Tünde Szabó was the first woman in 2:43:17. Kenyans took the first three places in the men's race.
The 38th edition was cancelled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the marathon has not returned. In December 2025 Wrocław's deputy mayor said her goal was to restart it in September 2027 on its historic route from Sobótka. In June 2026, however, the head of the city's youth sports centre said that the revival remained on hold.
