On November 9, 2025, the streets of Burgas will once again be filled with thousands of enthusiasts ready to take part in one of the most significant sporting events in Bulgaria - Burgas Marathon 2025. Last year, over 1000 runners from Bulgaria and abroad participated in the event, and this year the number of participants is expected to double, turning the Burgas Marathon into one of the largest events in the running calendar in our country.

In addition to the 10 km and 21 km (half marathon) distances from last year, the organizers - the Municipality of Burgas and the "Sport in Free Time" Association - are introducing two new distances - 5 km, suitable for beginners and children, and 42.195 km full marathon, which will challenge the most enduring competitors. The children's run on the shortest distance is also preserved.

The basis of the route is the 10.5 kilometer loop from last year's edition. For this year, improvements have been made to avoid the climb towards the Sea Casino - a part that many participants shared in the feedback form that it was the most challenging. The new route has minimal climbs and passes through some of the most iconic locations in the city. The start and finish remain on "Aleksandrovska" in the very heart of Burgas, which creates a unique atmosphere and convenience for participants and the public.

The marathon also has a new website with a registration and information platform - burgasmarathon.bg. There, participants will be able to find all the details about the route, the program, and the latest news about the upcoming edition. Registration is open and the organizers are calling on all enthusiasts to join and become part of this inspiring sporting adventure.
