The marathon starts on high ground at 119 m. The road first climbs about 14 m to the highest point of the course, 133 m near km 3, and then falls 58 m in two and a half kilometres to 75 m at km 5.5, which is the level it keeps for most of the day.
This is the one real descent of the race. The road is then level for the next 30 km, so the pace that feels easy here is not one the course will keep giving.
Measured
After the descent the course stays almost level for 31 km. The lowest point of the whole race, 72.6 m, comes at km 12.2, and nothing between km 5 and km 36 rises above 79.7 m.
The organiser’s list of cut-off points for the 2026 marathon shows where it goes: the entry to the Ada Bridge at 8.5 km, a roundabout at the Novi Beograd municipality at 14 km, and the exit from Branko’s Bridge at 37 km, where the road comes back over the Sava. The organiser reserves the right to change the course.
Measured
The course gains 92 m in all, and 48 m of it comes after km 36. Branko’s Bridge, which the organiser lists as the tenth cut-off at 37 km (“exit from Branko’s Bridge” in the 2026 edition), lifts the road about 8 m between km 36.2 and km 36.9. The road then settles back to 74 m near km 39.3 before the finish climb: 38 m in under 3 km, to 112 m in Republic Square.
On a marathon that is otherwise flat, this is the only place the legs are asked for something new.
Measured
A loop through the Serbian capital starting and finishing by the National Assembly, crossing the Sava on the way through Belgrade's riverside districts.
