Starting in 2025 the European Running Championships lifted the marathon and half marathon from the European (track) Athletics Championships and bundled the road races into a new two-year championship. Elite runners compete for the European titles, but the championships simultaneously double as an ‘open’ championship which any recreational runner can enter as is the case in any big city marathon.
