The Gdansk Marathon (Polish: Gdańsk Maraton) takes runners on a tour of Gdańsk, the biggest city on Poland's stretch of the Baltic Sea.

The race begins and ends at the AMBEREXPO Exhibition and Convention Centre which is situated in the northern part of the city, approximately five kilometres from the historic centre and four kilometres from the beach.

The route visits a large number of sights such as the modern amber-coloured Stadion Miejski football stadium, the Gdańsk Shipyard (the former Lenin Shipyard where the Solidarność trade union was founded in 1980), the award-winning building of the European Solidarity Centre, the beautiful medieval Old Town, the vast Ronald Reagan Park and the coast.

The course is flat and fast. The difference between the lowest and the highest point on the course is just 27 metres.

In addition to the marathon, the event offers a 5k and a marathon relay.
