Happiness. Togetherness. Experience It Together.
European Marathon Classic is designed to be experienced together. Running becomes a shared journey for athletes, families and friends, where happiness comes from being part of something bigger. Each host city adds its local culture, food and everyday life, turning race weekends into moments of connection, joy and authentic European experiences.

Health. Balance. Feeling Good.
EMC is about taking care of yourself – both physically and mentally. It promotes balance, consistency and mental focus, supporting a healthy lifestyle over time and helping runners stay motivated and connected to what truly matters.

Inspiration. A Challenge That Moves You.
One challenge, multiple cities, one continuous journey across Europe’s most iconic marathons. Collecting the Classics inspires commitment, pushes personal limits and rewards perseverance. Each race is a milestone; together they form a meaningful and motivating European challenge.

Sustainability. Responsibility in Motion.
EMC promotes responsible participation – from conscious travel choices to sustainable materials and long-term medal concepts. We believe achievement should leave a positive trace and show respect for host cities and the environment.
