The Kyiv Marathon or Wizz Air Kyiv City Marathon is an annual road running event over the marathon distance which is held in October on the streets of Kyiv, Ukraine since 2010. The race is certified by AIMS, and is part of the Run Ukraine Running League, an annual series of races held in Ukrainian cities.
History
In 2010 Kyiv joined the list of cities that hold their own annual marathon. October 16, 2010 Kyiv held its first marathon, attended by 546 participants from 13 countries – 144 athletes volunteered to go to the start of the classic marathon, which is 42 km 195 m. Volodymyr Horban from Kyiv and Liudmyla Shelest from Sumy became the winners.
The second marathon in 2011 was attended by more than 1,000 runners. 1,693 participants registered in 2013, and in the spring of 2014, nearly 3,500 athletes from 32 countries started. In 2015 3,800 participants from 38 countries came to the starting line. The marathon route became the special feature of this race since it was mapped as one lap through the city. More than 6600 athletes and amateurs from 50 countries started in 2016.

Why this record matters
The phrase “annual race in Ukraine held since 2010” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4220213. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
