Held since 2016 with the support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Baku Marathon aims to promote a healthy lifestyle and foster running culture in Azerbaijan.

On May 3, 2026, for the first time in its history, the Baku Marathon will feature the full marathon distance of 42.2 km. The route starts at the National Flag Square, winds through the picturesque Baku Boulevard and the city&rsquo;s central avenues, proceeds past Lake Boyukshor, and concludes on the coast at Sea Breeze.

The race slogan &mdash; &quot;Win the Wind&quot; &mdash; embodies the spirit of freedom, willpower, and the drive to reach new heights.
