On February 7, 2027, the city of Varaždin hosts its annual Winter Marathon series, offering runners an exhilarating experience through both familiar and challenging routes. The main events include the full marathon (42.2 km), half-marathon (21.1 km), a 10-kilometer run, and a 5-kilometer race. All races start at Arena Sports Hall and are certified by AIMS.
