Registration for the Baku Marathon 2026 has started today, APA reports.
The main innovation in the marathon, which has been traditionally organized since 2016 at the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, is that the race will not be a half-marathon, but for the first time will be held as a full marathon at a distance of 42 km and on a different route.
The Baku Marathon will start at 10:00 on May 3 from the State Flag Square, with the finish line located in the Sea Breeze area.
The route of the ninth Baku Marathon:
State Flag Square – Seaside Boulevard – Baku International Sea Trade Port – Neftchilar Avenue – Baku White City Boulevard – 8 November Avenue – Yusif Safarov Street – Heydar Aliyev Avenue – Great Silk Road Street – Muzaffar Narimanov Street – Ziya Bunyadov Avenue – Bakyshor-Pirshagi Road – Bilgah-Pirshagi Highway – Sea Breeze.
Those wishing to participate in the marathon can register for a fee until April 25 through the website www.marathon.az, as well as at points in the 28 Mall, Deniz Mall, and Ganjlık Mall shopping centers. Registration is free for students.
Male and female participants will compete for the top 3 places in the Baku Marathon 2026, which will be held under the main sponsorship of Azercell. Winners in both categories will be awarded cash prizes and gifts, as well as medals and certificates.
