The Wizz Air Sofia Marathon is Bulgaria’s biggest running weekend and a true city-center race festival in Sofia. Held across two days (10–11 October 2026), it offers something for every level — from a mass 5K to the full marathon. The start/finish hub is in front of the National Art Gallery (Knyaz Alexander I Square), with routes that showcase central boulevards and landmark areas. For 2026, registration opened earlier with bigger quotas and real-time remaining places per distance, so popular categories can sell out. Expect a well-supported race experience with official timing, strong logistics, and a premium starter pack vibe (shirt, medal, refreshments and a Wizz Air voucher depending on the package).
• Marathon — 42.195 km
The main event for runners chasing a full marathon finish or a serious time goal. Fast, city-focused course starting and ending at the National Art Gallery. A long, continuous tour of Sofia’s main roads and key squares with big-race energy and steady rhythm. Best for experienced marathoners and well-prepared first-timers who want a clear, organized urban route.
• Address Run Half Marathon — 21 km
The “big race” distance with marathon-day atmosphere but simpler pacing. Same iconic start/finish location and the best central Sofia scenery packed into a manageable challenge. Ideal for a first half marathon, a PB attempt or as a stepping stone toward 42 km.
• 10 km Run
A fast, accessible city race that still feels like a major event. Perfect if you want the Sofia Marathon weekend experience without the long-distance load. Great for beginners, tempo runners, and anyone aiming for a strong, confident finish with full race-day production.
• 5 km — FIB Mass Run
The most inclusive race of the weekend — built for everyone. A short, social, high-energy run through the city center. Ideal for first-time racers, friends, families, and teams who want to be part of the marathon weekend and cross the finish line in a real event setting.
