    Discover Warsaw – a city full of history and pulse

    Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is a city that combines historic quarters with modern neighbourhoods and a vibrant cultural life. Here you can stroll along beautiful boulevards, discover charming squares and enjoy a variety of museums, art galleries and historical sights, such as the Old Town, the Royal Castle and the Palace of Culture and Science.

    The city is also known for its vibrant café and restaurant scene, trendy bars and green parks where you can relax after a marathon. With an excellent public transport system, you can get between sights quickly, and the friendly atmosphere makes runners and walkers alike feel welcome.

    Warsaw is a great destination all year round – but especially on marathon weekend, when the city streets are filled with runners, spectators and a party atmosphere. Combine your race with sightseeing, fine dining and cultural experiences for an unforgettable trip!

    About the race

    The Warsaw Marathon takes you on a spectacular journey through Poland’s capital, where modern pulse meets historical views.

    The start and finish are centrally located at the Palace of Culture and Science, making it easy for both runners and walkers to enjoy the city’s atmosphere. The course winds through the Old Town with its charming squares and cobbled streets, across the Vistula River and along wide boulevards lined with cheers from thousands of spectators.

    During the race you will pass both green parks and the city’s most famous landmarks, providing a combination of sightseeing and running fun. The relatively flat and even course profile allows you to run fast while enjoying the city as a backdrop – a perfect mix for both personal bests and unforgettable experiences. The crowds create a great energy along the entire route, and the well-organised logistics allow the focus to be entirely on the running and the experience.

    The Warsaw Marathon is not just a race – it’s a chance to experience a city that lives and breathes marathon, where every step offers new vistas and every corner the enthusiasm of the crowd.

    Rome – a city where history meets everyday life

    Rome is a destination where thousands of years of history live side by side with a vibrant contemporary city life. The city is equally suited to first-time visitors and those who want to return and discover new neighbourhoods at a slower pace.

    Rome offers a multifaceted experience where ancient ruins, Renaissance palaces and everyday neighbourhoods blend together. Along narrow streets and open squares, historic monuments, cafés and small shops meet, and each neighbourhood has its own character. It’s easy to intersperse well-known sights with spontaneous breaks for food, walking or people-watching.

    As a destination, Rome is suitable for both a short city break and a longer stay. Distances are manageable, public transport is well developed and there is a wide range of accommodation. Whether your focus is on history, culture, food or just taking in the city’s atmosphere, Rome is a city that invites you to experience it at your own pace.

    About the race

    The Rome Marathon is a magnificent marathon race that attracts 20 000 – 30 000 runners from all over the world every year. The race winds its way through the heart of Rome, with participants starting on Via dei Fori Imperiali in the shadow of the Colosseum and getting a unique chance to run among some of the city’s most iconic sites.

    The race passes historic landmarks such as Piazza Venezia, Circus Maximus, the ancient Pyramid of Cestius and the imposing Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura before reaching one of the most devotional parts of the course – Via della Conciliazione towards the majestic dome of St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Along the Tiber, beautiful views are offered, and the race continues through classical neighbourhoods past Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and the world-famous Trevi Fountain. The finish line is then in Circo Massimo, where runners end their adventure in one of the greatest arenas of antiquity with the Colosseum as a backdrop again.

    The Rome Marathon is one of Europe’s most impressive urban and cultural marathons, where history literally surrounds you throughout the race. The course is mostly flat but also includes sections of classic Roman cobblestones, providing both a physical and visual challenge. The race is organised in March when Rome’s early spring offers cool mornings and pleasant temperatures, making it a popular time to tackle both personal goals and sightseeing in one.

    Throughout your journey, our experienced Springtime leaders will be there to guide and support you – both during the race and in the experiences around it.

    About the race

    Experience one of the world’s most iconic running experiences! The London Marathon offers an unforgettable journey through historic streets, cheering crowds and an atmosphere filled with energy and community – while every step contributes to charity worldwide.

    Run through the heart of London and feel the pulse of history. The London Marathon is more than a race – it’s a global celebration of people, where thousands of runners come together in unity and passion. Starting in Greenwich and finishing in front of Buckingham Palace, you’ll pass iconic landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben and The Tower of London, all in an atmosphere of cheer, energy and togetherness.

    The race is also the world’s largest annual one-day fundraising event – a marathon for charity where participants from all over the world run for their favourite causes. In 2024, a record £73.5 million was raised for charity, and since its inception in 1981, over £1.3 billion has been donated to good causes.

    In addition to the elite, the race also attracts runners who want to set more unusual records – from running dressed as superheroes to breaking Guinness records in a suit or slippers.

    One of the six classic Abbott World Marathon Majors, the race is an obvious destination for elite and amateur runners alike. It’s the perfect race for those who want to experience one of the world’s fastest and most atmospheric courses – an unforgettable journey through the historic streets of London and Europe’s most vibrant city.

    The London Marathon is a unique combination of beauty, challenge and community – a race where every step counts and every runner contributes to something bigger.

    Abbott World Marathon Majors

    Do you dream of running among the world’s top marathon cities and joining an exclusive group of runners? Then the Abbott World Marathon Majors is your ultimate challenge – a journey that takes you across six iconic cities, six unforgettable races and a destination that symbolises pure running joy and determination.

    The Abbott World Marathon Majors consist of six of the world’s most prestigious marathons: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York. Together they form the ultimate marathon journey – a chance to experience new cultures, atmospheres and courses, while challenging both body and mind.

    Each race you complete earns you a star on your way to the coveted Six Star Medal, proof that you have completed all six. The journey requires careful planning, perseverance and passion – but each goal you cross becomes a memory for life.

    Beyond the races, you also become part of a global community of runners through the World Marathon Majors system, with rankings, virtual challenges and the opportunity to track your progress against the world’s best in your class.

    When you run your last of the six races and receive your Six Star Medal, it’s more than a race you’re finishing – it’s a journey you’ve conquered.

    The TCS Sydney Marathon has officially become the seventh member of the Abbott World Marathon Majors from 2025. The race has undergone a multi-year evaluation process in which the organisation, safety, spectator support and participation numbers have been improved to meet the high standards required to become a Major. The course takes runners through the city’s most iconic settings, including running across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and finishing at the world-famous Opera House.

    Looking ahead, further expansion of the series is planned. Two marathons are currently in the candidate phase: the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in South Africa and the Shanghai Marathon in China. If Cape Town fulfils all the criteria, the race is expected to become an official Major in 2026, while Shanghai could be added the following year, in 2027.

    With these additions, the Abbott World Marathon Majors could comprise a total of nine races, and there has already been discussion about the possibility of introducing a new Nine-Star Medal for those runners who complete all the marathons in the expanded series.
