The Minsk International Half Marathon is one of the largest and most striking sporting events in Belarus, annually bringing together tens of thousands of participants from different countries. In 2025, the tenth anniversary half marathon gathered a record more than 25,000 runners from 15 countries. The participants competed at several distances: 21,097 km (half marathon), 10.5 km, 5 km, as well as in a Corporate relay race and a Fan race. The track passed through the central streets and avenues of Minsk with the finish line at the National Olympic Stadium Dynamo. For many, it was not only a sporting challenge, but also a real celebration of a healthy lifestyle and team spirit.
