Rimi Vilnius Marathon
Vilnius, Lithuania · Tuesday 14 September 2027
The Swedbank Vilniaus Maratonas takes place on September 14, 2025, in Lithuania's capital on a trail surface that rolls through moderate elevation changes across the region. The 42.2-kilometer course is moderately hilly with enough vertical to keep you engaged but not punishing, climbing between 88 and 138 meters above sea level over the distance. This is Lithuania's largest running event and one of Eastern Europe's established marathons, so expect solid organization and decent race infrastructure. Registration opens well in advance and the race offers multiple distances including a half marathon, 10km, 5km, and shorter community events if you want to bring family along. Start your training with the rolling terrain in mind, as the trail surface will demand more from your legs than a flat road marathon would, so build in some hill work and practice on uneven ground before race day.
