The 'Vilniaus Tiltai' (Bridges of Vilnius) marathon takes place in mid-July; the 2026 race was its fifth edition. The course follows the Neris embankments past Vilnius's best-known bridges, linking the modern business district with the historic Old Town, and each year one bridge is chosen as the race symbol (in 2026 it was the Green Bridge near the start). The start is early, at 8:00, while it's still cool: marathon, half and 10.6 km, followed later by 5.5 km, a mile and a kids' race, plus Nordic walking. It's a friendly Maratomanija event where atmosphere matters as much as the clock. Vilnius means a UNESCO-listed baroque Old Town, Gediminas Tower above the meeting of the Neris and Vilnia, bohemian Užupis and Lithuanian food from cepelinai to cold beetroot soup.
An easy run with a local club the day before the race — the best way to shake out the legs and meet the city.
