About the Baku Marathon

The event grew from a mass-participation half marathon into Baku's first full-distance city race. Its new marathon format gives local and visiting runners a broader tour of the capital.

Course

From State Flag Square, runners head through central Baku before finishing at Sea Breeze. Long open avenues and Caspian wind make even pacing important.

Race-day weather

Early May is usually mild, but exposed coastal roads can bring wind, sun, or a quick rise in temperature. Layers at the start and disciplined hydration are useful.
