Half Marathon Sopot

Experience one of Poland’s most scenic and atmospheric races with the Sopot Half Marathon, set in the elegant Baltic seaside resort of Sopot.

This unique 21K race blends contrasting landscapes in a way few half marathons can. The course starts with the fresh Baltic Sea breeze along flat coastal promenades, where runners can find rhythm while enjoying open sea views. The second part of the route climbs into the greener, more demanding sections of the Tri-City Landscape Park, introducing short but challenging hills that test strength and pacing.

Often referred to as “Sopot wall climbs,” these punchy ascents add character and intensity to an otherwise fast coastal race. The combination of terrain makes the Sopot Half Marathon ideal both for personal best attempts and for runners seeking a varied and memorable challenge.

The grand finale is truly iconic: runners descend back toward the sea and finish directly on the beach, with the sound of waves and the view of Sopot’s famous pier and Grand Hotel creating a spectacular race atmosphere.

Beyond the course itself, Sopot offers a full recovery and lifestyle experience — from refreshing Baltic Sea dips and the iconic wooden pier, to cafés along Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street (“Monciak”) and relaxing walks in the nearby Tri-City Landscape Park.

The Sopot Half Marathon is more than a race — it is a coastal running experience where sport, nature, and seaside elegance meet in one unforgettable destination.
