The Poznań Marathon (Polish: Poznań Maraton imienia Macieja Frankiewicza[4][a]) is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Poznań, Poland, since 2000.[2] It was categorized as a Bronze Label Road Race by the International Association of Athletics Federations and is a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[7][8]
The marathon is one of five in the Crown of Polish Marathons program, along with the Dębno Marathon, Kraków, Warsaw, and Wrocław Marathon.[9][10]
History
The inaugural race was held on 15 October 2000 as the "Hansaplast Poznań Marathon".[2][11] A total of 763[b] people finished the race, which was won by Polish runners Andrzej Krzyścin and Dorota Gruca, with finish times of 2:17:23 and 2:37:22, respectively.[11][3]
In 2012, the winner of the men's race Edwin Kosgei Yator of Kenya (who won the race with the time 2:16:16) failed anti-doping tests and as a consequence was stripped of the title. The winner of the 2012 edition of Poznań Marathon was another Kenyan, Edwin Kirui.[12]
In 2013, the Poznań Marathon was finished by a total of 5,678 participants, which made it the second largest marathon in the country behind only the Warsaw Marathon.[13]
Among notable participants of the Poznań Marathon are politicians including Mayors of Poznań who run in the marathon traditionally wearing the number one.[14]
The 2020 edition of the race was postponed to 2021 before being cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants receiving a refund.[15][16]
