Minsk Half Marathon

The 2015 Minsk Half Marathon which brought together over 400 athletes from 36 countries and thousands of Belarusian enthusiasts was the main sports event of Minsk City Day. Partaking in the 5km, 10km and 21.1km races were 16,099 registered athletes.

Taking into account those who joined the races without registration, the number of races was bigger by at least 3,000. European Athletics President Sven Arne Hansen noted: “I have never seen the first half marathon to be a success before. Belarus has coped with task. As European Athletics President I am proud of you.”
