The SPB Half Marathon. The Northern Capital is a running event in St. Petersburg, Russia, offering a half marathon (21.1 km), a 10 km race, and a relay. The route runs in one circle along the historical center of St. Petersburg, with views of the Kazan Cathedral, Peter and Paul Fortress, Rostral Columns, Admiralty, and St. Isaac's Cathedral. The start and finish take place on the Palace Square.

Why attend here

Run one loop around the heart of St. Petersburg, past the Kazan Cathedral, the Admiralty, and the golden spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress, all set against the city's imperial skyline in early August. After crossing the finish line on Palace Square, cool off with a walk along the canals and treat yourself to a blini with caviar or a glass of kvass at a local spot.
