Wizz Air Sofia Marathon 2026 introduces a new discipline to its program – a 2 × 21 km relay, giving participants the opportunity to share the marathon distance with a partner and complete the entire course together through the heart of Sofia.

The new relay is a natural step in the development of the event and a response to the growing interest from runners. In recent years, the organizers have received numerous inquiries about such a format that combines the challenge of the marathon with team spirit and a shared experience, and it is now part of the official race program.

The relay will старт on October 11, 2026, alongside the classic marathon (42.195 km) and the half marathon – 21K Address Run. Participants will compete in teams of two, with each runner covering 21 km. Teams can be all-male, all-female, or mixed (one male and one female).

The quota for the new discipline is limited to 300 teams, and registration will remain open until all spots are filled. Participants can also take advantage of early registration at lower prices, available until April 30, 2026, via the official event website.

With the introduction of the relay, Wizz Air Sofia Marathon continues to expand its format and respond to the needs of the running community, making the event more accessible, engaging, and inclusive.
