About Marathon
History of Marathon
In the format in which it has been held since 2015, the Chisinau Marathon was a relaunch of a legendary event held in the country 30 years ago.
The marathon has become a wind of change for tens of thousands of people in the country. It has become a real sports holiday for everyone: someone tested the capabilities of their body, someone wanted to set a good example for their children, someone brought a good family tradition, and someone else used the marathon as an important part of team building.
And guests from other countries started to visit Moldova more often. Foreign athletes from 52 countries attend this hospitable marathon.

Marathon is not just a sports event. First of all it is a big celebration for the city. Families come outside on the streets to support the athletes, they cheer and celebrate.
And when you reach the finish line, and you can hardly walk, they give you a medal, tap you on the shoulder, give you hugs, say congratulations and cheer you up, and you feel that you made it! And it’s the best feeling in the world!
