Wizz Air Skopje Marathon

The Wizz Air Skopje Marathon is North Macedonia’s flagship road race, known for a fast, flat city-center course and a compact, runner-friendly setup. Starting from Macedonia Square, the route follows the Vardar River, crosses near the historic Stone Bridge, and loops through Skopje’s main boulevards with music points, spectators, and a strong race-day buzz. With marathon, half marathon, 5K, and team formats, it’s a great choice whether you’re chasing a time, running your first big event, or coming with friends or colleagues. The course structure is simple: the half marathon is one loop, while the marathon is two laps of the same 21.1 km circuit — making pacing, fueling, and cheering logistics easier. • Marathon — 42.195 km (2 laps) The main challenge: a two-lap marathon on a flat, urban circuit designed for steady pacing and strong results. The repeated loop helps you manage splits, hydration, and support points — and makes it easy for friends to see you more than once. Ideal for PB attempts and confident first-time marathoners who want a clear, organized course. Start: 08:00 • Time limit: 5h 30m • Age: 18+ • Marathon Relay — 4 legs (10 km + 11 km + 10 km + 11 km) A team version of the full marathon where four runners share 42.195 km. One timing chip is passed between teammates at change zones, keeping the relay simple and exciting. Teams can be men’s, women’s, or mixed, and every member earns a medal — with the final runner collecting all medals at the finish. Great for clubs, friends, and company teams who want the marathon atmosphere without doing the full distance solo. • Half Marathon — 21.097 km (1 lap) The signature “sweet spot” race: one full 21.1 km loop through central Skopje with the same key landmarks and crowd energy as the marathon. A strong option for first-time half marathon runners, seasonal fitness goals, or runners targeting a fast time on a smooth city course. Start: 08:00 • Age: 16+ (under 18 with parental consent) • 5K (Recreational / Humanitarian) — 5 km (1 lap) A mass-participation 5K made for everyone — beginners, families, casual runners, and anyone who wants to be part of the marathon morning. Short, social, and scenic, with the full event atmosphere and the satisfaction of finishing inside a major race setup. Start: 08:00 • Team Building (5K or Half Marathon) A team-ranking option for companies or groups: enter the same team name for all members and compete together in the 5K (min 4 runners) or half marathon (min 3 runners). It’s a fun way to add friendly competition and motivation — without changing the individual race experience.
