In July 2026, the courses of Ukraine’s premier marathon were officially measured. The measurements were carried out by Arturs Onzuls, a certified course measurer from Latvia. The 1.6 km, 5 km, 10 km, 21 km and 42 km courses were certified.
Thanks to this certification, the race results will be officially recognised by World Athletics. This gives Ukrainian runners the opportunity to meet the qualifying standards required to earn the title of Master of Sport.
