“Vilnius 5 in 5” – A New Historic Chapter in Lithuanian Running!

For the first time in Lithuania, a unique multi-day running event is taking place where, over five consecutive days, participants can complete five marathons, five half-marathons, or five 12.6 km runs.

This is a true test of endurance, determination, and the ability to return to the start line day after day — a format that has long captured the hearts of runners around the world. From the USA and the United Kingdom to Australia, stage-running events have built a strong global tradition. Now, this tradition arrives in Vilnius.

Five days. Five starts. Five opportunities to push beyond your limits and experience how both body and mind adapt to a true stage-running adventure.

Will you be able to step up to the start line five days in a row?
Will you dare to test your limits and discover how much you are capable of?

“Vilnius 5 in 5” invites you — choose your distance and become part of this unique challenge!
