The NLB Ljubljana Marathon is Slovenia's flagship running event and one of Central Europe's best-value marathon experiences, drawing over 21,000 runners from 60+ countries across all distances to this charming green capital. The flat, single-loop marathon course winds past the hilltop Ljubljana Castle, beneath the famous Triple Bridge designed by legendary architect Jože Plečko, and along the romantic Ljubljanica River that curves through the historic center. Runners pass the Dragon Bridge with its copper dragon guardians, cross through the expansive Tivoli Park, and finish at the elegant Kongresni trg (Congress Square) surrounded by neoclassical architecture. Despite its intimate size, Ljubljana punches well above its weight as a marathon host — the course is fast and AIMS certified, and the first-cutoff system (20 km in 2 hours 45 minutes) keeps the event well-paced. Entry fees of 55-65 EUR are significantly cheaper than comparable Western European city marathons, and the early-bird discount through June makes it even more accessible. October temperatures of 6-15°C are ideal for racing, and Ljubljana's pedestrian-friendly old town, outstanding food scene, and relaxed café culture make it a perfect marathon weekend destination in one of Europe's most livable small capitals.

The Lowdown

Often dubbed “The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America,” the Twin Cities Marathon delivers on scenery. The race is a one-way route connecting Minnesota’s two largest cities: it starts in downtown Minneapolis (near U.S. Bank Stadium) and finishes at the State Capitol in St. Paul. Along the way, the course showcases fall colors and city lakes – you’ll run past sparkling Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, and along the Mississippi River. Historic Summit Avenue in St. Paul, lined with autumn trees and stately homes, comprises the final miles. The terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling; the biggest challenge is an extended gradual uphill from about mile 20 to 23 as you climb from river level up to the finish at the Capitol (roughly a 200-foot gain, which feels significant late-race). Overall, many runners find Twin Cities fast – there’s enough downhill and flat early on to offset the late hills. And the visuals are stunning throughout, from urban skylines to natural vistas.
