The Moscow Half Marathon is the largest half marathon in Russia, offering a picturesque route along Moskva-river embankments with views of iconic landmarks. The 2026 race features an updated route starting on Kosygina street near University Square and ending on Luzhniki Street, with views of Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral, the Crimean Bridge, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, and the Peter the Great Monument.

Why attend here

In early May, Moscow sheds its winter chill, and the riverside route becomes a front-row seat to the city's most iconic silhouettes — from the Kremlin's red walls to the whimsical domes of Saint Basil's. After crossing the finish line, warm up with a bowl of steaming borscht and a slice of honey cake at a local café, then wander the renovated embankments as the city buzzes with spring energy.
