About This Race
The St. Petersburg White Nights Marathon is one of the world's most unique endurance experiences — a nocturnal race starting at 10pm during the legendary White Nights when St. Petersburg never gets dark, and runners cross the open Neva River drawbridges before they lift for river traffic at midnight. The extraordinary course passes the Winter Palace (Hermitage), the Church on Spilled Blood, past Kazan Cathedral and the Bronze Horseman, over historic Neva bridges.
