Ulaanbaatar City will host its first-ever nightly marathon on September 26, bringing runners together for an evening race and entertainment festival in the capital. Registration for the event is now open. Participants can choose from three race distances, five km, 10 km and 21 km, and must be at least 16 years old. Registration fees range from 29,000 to 100,000 MNT, depending on the race category.

The night marathon is a running festival held after sunset, typically between 8:00 p.m. and midnight. Unlike conventional daytime races, the event is designed to combine running with entertainment, allowing participants to enjoy the city’s nighttime atmosphere while taking part in a major sporting event.

In addition to road races, the event will feature live performances, music, DJ sets and cultural and artistic programs. The illuminated streets and nighttime scenery of Ulaanbaatar are expected to create a distinctive atmosphere for both runners and spectators. Organizers aim to promote an active lifestyle and encourage greater public participation in running while introducing a new format of sporting and cultural entertainment to the capital.
