History

The first regularly-held marathon was held in 2010. [3] Prior to this, the marathon was first held in 1989 with about 100 runners, and a half marathon and a 10 km race had been held regularly since 2000. [3] [4]

In 2015, Estonian Marti Medar set a world record for completing a marathon while dribbling a basketball, finishing in 3:04:15. [5] In 2017, Medar set a world record for completing a marathon while dribbling two basketballs at the same time, doing so in 3:54:16, and then set it again in 2021 with a time of 3:36:36. [5] [1]

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of running the race virtually, transferring their entry to 2021, or obtaining a refund. [6] [7]
