Set in the narrow Hron valley which cuts through Slovakia's mountainous heartland, the Marathon Banska Bystrica offers a full marathon, a half marathon and a half marathon relay race for teams of three runners.

The half marathon is one lap and the marathon is two laps of a very undulating course that begins and ends on the delightful main square of Banská Bystrica, the largest of the medieval mining towns in the region, and nowadays Slovakia's fifth-largest city with a population of about 80,000.

The time limit to finish the race is three hours for the half and five hours for the full marathon.

In 2016, the event will incorporate the Slovak Marathon Championships as well as the World Barefoot Half Marathon Championships!
