Race Info
The Tartu City Marathon (Tartu Linnamaraton) runs each October through Tartu, Estonia's second-largest city. The 42.2 km course is a single loop starting on Vabaduse puiestee and finishing at Raekoja plats (Town Hall Square), passing the Emajogi riverbank, Toomemagi hill, the old town, and the Karlova and Supilinn districts. The marathon distance was first run in 2012, reviving a Tartu autumn street-running tradition that began with the 1983 Tartu City Run. The weekend also includes half marathon and 10 km races and a Friday-night 4 km run through the old town.
