Burgas council says runners in the Burgas Marathon 2026 can visit the city's museums and galleries for free from today, Friday 13 November, to Sunday 15 November.

Runners show the number from their starter pack at the entrance. Staff stamp the back of it to mark the visit.

Free entry is open to all marathon participants, including visitors to the city. The race distances are 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km.

The Regional Museum in Burgas is opening all four of its exhibitions: the Archaeological, History, Natural History and Ethnographic museums. All four are open from 9am to 5pm on each of the three days.

The council says participants will see some of the best-known sites in Burgas and learn more about its history and culture.

On 11 November we reported that streets in central Burgas will be closed on Sunday 15 November because of the marathon, and buses will run on changed routes from 7:30am to 4pm. Khan Asparuh Street will close as early as 2pm on Saturday.
