The Zagreb Marathon (Croatian: Zagrebački maraton) is an annual marathon held in October in Zagreb, Croatia. It includes a marathon race, half marathon and 10K run that starts one hour earlier.[1] All races begin and end on Ban Jelačić Square.[2]

History[edit]

The first marathon race in Zagreb was organized in 1992. The track changed a lot in the first years, until 2004, when the start-finish area was moved to the city center, to the Ban Jelačić Square, with half-turns in Dubrava and Črnomerec, which proved to be one of the key organizational elements of the race. In 2005, the half marathon race was introduced.[3] The 2020 edition of the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia, with registrants also having the option of running the race virtually.[4][5]
