The story

ČSOB Bratislava Marathon in Bratislava

The ČSOB Bratislava Marathon, known internationally as the Bratislava Marathon, is an annual road race through the Slovak capital held continuously since 2006, though the city's first regularly organized marathon dates back to 1932. Named for its title sponsor ČSOB bank, it draws runners from across Europe for a course through Bratislava's historic and riverside districts.

Long before Bratislava's marathon carried its current title sponsorship and modern race-day infrastructure, the city already had a running tradition to build on.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The modern ČSOB Bratislava Marathon carries a historical lineage stretching back further than most European city marathons still running today, with organizers tracing Bratislava's marathon tradition to a first regularly held race in 1932, long before the current branded event launched in 2006

02

The mystery stays covered

That combination of a genuinely historic running tradition and a modern, corporately title-sponsored event structure gives the race a dual identity: a contemporary mass-participation road race with course support and timing technology typical of major European marathons, layered onto a city running culture nearly a century old

03

The city starts moving

As one of Slovakia's largest annual sporting events, it draws international competitors and recreational runners to a course showcasing Bratislava's Danube-side geography and historic center
