Sobre o evento

Thousands of years ago, the birthplace of the Sofia Marathon was established and today it stands out as the cultural and economic centre of Bulgaria, being one of the oldest capitals in Eastern Europe. The city of Sofia was first settled by Thracian tribes in the 8th century BCE, who named it Serdika or Serdonpolis in honour of its warm springs. The Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (306-337) famously proclaimed that "Serdika is my Rome". When running the marathon in Sofia, you will be able to observe a number of ancient monuments and buildings. Remnants of the Eastern Gate from the 2nd to 4th centuries CE still remain, as well as the oldest church in the city – the Saint George Rotunda, thought to be constructed during the reign of Constantine the Great in the 6th century.

The track was basically from the city center to the airport on one of the main highways. It was fast but kindly boring without people supporting you. In addition I faced couple of times language barriers and it was a problem to get a digital format of the tract to upload it to my GARMIN watch. Otherwise it was nice.

Really bad experience overall. They ran out of water after the half-marathon, so us marathoners were left without anything to drink for basically all of the second half. Thankfully some of the public brought some water bottles and started handing them out. It seemed that once the half finished they completely forgot about the rest and left the stations completely empty.

The weather was great. Unfortunately, it was too crowded. It was very hard to run freely without thinking if you would hit somebody or somebody would hit you. It was dangerous to try to run as fast as you can because of the crowd.

It was a well organized event. When I participated back on 2019, it was not too crowded. You can make a pb record because there are few uphills. It's a two lap "half-marathon" race, so it's easier to organize your splits and have a greater result at the end.

E' stata una bellissima gara , ottima organizzazione perfetta , non era troppo affollata anche il ristoro buono (gli ultmimi hanno trovato poche cose da mangiare.)

La gara si svolgeva su due giri è personalmente non sono molto soddisfatto.

The route was very good, especially if you want a PR. It was well organized. I have been there twice and I will go again this year.

I have run Sofia three times (2013, 2017 and 2018). The new course is excellent for anyone who wish to set a PR, with great scenery, good aid stations and cheerful crowds. It's a marathon with very good value-for-money. The city of Sofia has a lot to offer to its guests. I look forward for the 2019 edition!

It was the third time i ran Sofia Marathon and i can say definitely that it's getting better and better every year. It is a great flat route ideal for P.B. records, well organized and with fantastic atmosphere especially at start and finish line area ! Comparing to other races all over Europe Sofia Marathon has a "best value for money" price and Sofia is a very beautiful city for a 3-4 days excursion. I will be there once again next October with my friends!!! Highly recommended !!!

I have ran the half marathon with a friend who was on a wheelchair and we loved the whole experience, people were cheering the atmosphere was electric. The best part was we did finish in incredible time of 2.05 h I think... So we are back next year for the full 26.miles be ready for us Sofia !!!!

I was shocked to find out that my chip has only register the first lap of the halt marathon. Not sure if my jacket had anything to do with it but I have run many marathons with jackets around my waist before. Poor organization, no signs, no bathrooms ,water stations ware terrible.

Total traffic chaos - no signs, no information ... interesting choice for Wizz Air to make ... Truly, major events shouldn't be tackled if the organisers are unable (or not interested) to do it properly. Very poor show Sofia City, etc.

Pros: The organisation was excellent. The road was flat and weather was perfect. Great crowds Cons: The half marathon course is actually 2 loops of 10 km.

Really enjoyed the half marathon, fairly flat route with a few light undulations and bends to keep it interesting. Loved how you got to see the elite marathon runners pass a couple of times in the opposite direction. Great value, way cheaper than comparable UK events and included a shirt and kit bag as well as the medal. Lots of water stations including some put on by local businesses. The only improvement would be the bag drop as collection was disorganised and run by children who couldn't cope. Didn't help that we all had the same bag!

I managed third in my age category which was amazing! Even got a selfie with the elite runners who were relaxing with the general competitors

Well, i thought it will be great Marathon but this was just a thoughts 😕 Very poor organisation starting from EXPO to the finish line 😢. Wizzair vouchers validity 24hrs 😥 , not enough information of what where etc , three races 10k , Half and Marathon in this same time its not a great idea a specially you could see this on the finish line when best Marathon runners want to finish but they are blocked by other runners. All of the above is nothing of what has happened on the finish line unfortunately none of the 3 thousand runner received the medal 🏅 it is because they hasn't been delivered. So if you want to have you own one you can collect next day in Sofia or they will be send by post to people from abroad! How do you feel when running your first marathon in your life and after all effort trainings etc you back home with nothing ?
