Marathon and race walk routes revealed for the World Athletics Championships Budapest 23

Athletes in the marathon and race walk events at the World Athletics Championships Budapest 23 will compete in the heart of Budapest, as the routes have been revealed.

The marathon runners will complete the classic distance on a 10km course, running through the most beautiful, UNESCO World Heritage parts of Budapest.

The race walking finals will follow a formula that has worked well in the last few world championships races: the men’s and women’s 20km races will be on a 1km circuit, while the men’s and women’s 35km races will be on a 2km circuit. Like in the marathon, the start and finish will again be in Heroes‘ Square, while the course will be on Andrássy Avenue.
