Welcome to World Marathon, a trailblazer in the world of long-distance running events. Founded in 2000 by a group of passionate runners and event organizers, our company was born from a simple vision: to create marathon experiences that challenge athletes, unite communities, and inspire personal growth. What started as a single local race has since grown into an internationally recognized brand, hosting marathons in some of the world’s most iconic cities and breathtaking destinations.
Over the years, World Marathon has become synonymous with excellence, inclusivity, and community spirit. From the bustling streets of metropolitan capitals to scenic coastal routes, our marathons offer runners a chance to test their limits while embracing the beauty and culture of each location. Our flagship event, the Run The World, attracts thousands of runners annually and has become a must-run race for elite and amateur athletes alike.
