Horský Maratón Martinky 2026

The Martin Night Run begins at SNP Square in Martin, Slovakia, sending hundreds of participants through the city streets after dark. The main events commence at 20:00, with the 5 km and 10 km races starting simultaneously. The 5 km Nordic Walking group departs five minutes later. Earlier, at 17:00, children’s races take place; these are free, making the event suitable for families alongside adult runners and walkers. The course winds through Martin’s city center, featuring a combination of asphalt, interlocking paving, and firm natural surfaces. The 10 km race consists of two laps of a 5 km circuit, whereas the 5 km run and Nordic Walking option complete a single lap. A DJ and illumination along the course define the night race's atmosphere. A two-hour time limit accommodates a broad spectrum of participants, not exclusively competitive club runners. The Civic Association Sport and Health, Big-agency Slovakia, and the city of Martin organize the event.
