About
The Poznan Marathon is an annual road marathon in Poznan, Poland, run since 2000 and formally named Poznan Maraton imienia Macieja Frankiewicza. The race weekend also includes the Poznan Five, a 5 km event for runners seeking a shorter, faster test or a first step into organized road racing.
The marathon is part of the Crown of Polish Marathons, alongside Debno, Krakow, Warsaw, and Wroclaw, and has been part of the international AIMS network. Its first edition had 763 finishers, while later editions drew several thousand runners. A local tradition assigns the number one bib to politicians, including Poznan mayors, and the Poznan Five starts from the city sports and recreation site on Jana Spychalskiego Street.
