Sofia Half Marathon 2027

The Sofia Half Marathon is your ticket to run right in the heart of a capital city that loves it when things get moving—and so do you 🏙️.

You pick your challenge of the day: 5 km to have fun without burning out, 10 km to test your consistency, or the half to tell yourself a real story from start to finish🏁.

Here, the vibe is simple and effective: long straight stretches to boost your confidence, sections through the city soak up the looks and cheers, and that little thrill of “I’m in Sofia, for real” 😄.

My local tip: arrive a bit early, calmly find your way around the access points, and leave yourself a little buffer to relax—so you can start with a light head 👟.

After the effort, stay around downtown and treat yourself to a “reward” plan all on foot: a break in front of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a detour to the elegant Russian Church of St. Nicholas, a visit to the National History Museum if you feel like going culture mode, or a stroll to the National Palace of Culture (NDK) to finish off on a terrace!☕

And if you’re coming as a duo or with family, head to Borisova Gradina Park for a walk in the greenery: perfect for reliving the race, gently teasing each other, and getting ready for your next bib without even realizing it! 🥰
