About the program

How to join

Cheering spectators is a powerful source of motivation, helping runners push through the distance and reach the finish line, even when they feel exhausted.

Gather your friends and come up with something fun and memorable – your cheers and applause will energize runners and give them energy to keep going!

If you have a business (a café, restaurant, studio, or shop), the White Nights Marathon offers a unique opportunity to promote your brand, connect with audience, and become part of a major city event.

If you are a business owner or an organization that wants to become part of the course or you're planning to set up your own cheer point with friends, please contact us at fan@runc.run. June 23 is the last day to apply.

General information

Cheer for your loved ones, friends, or even complete strangers at the finish areas or along the course! We’ll make sure you have everything you need.

On July 5, head to the finish areas to cheer on the runners. You can also follow their results online at results.runc.run (select “White Nights Marathon” and enter the runner’s bib number or last name).

Fan gear

At bib pick-up stations you can get free noise-makers: clappers, bells, and rattles, and create a personalized poster with a professional artist. Fan gear will also be available in the finish-line stands on Palace Square.

Where to Cheer

If you've ever run races, you know how crowd support can immensely boost runners’ spirits. Please don’t be shy to encourage passing runners even if you don’t know them.

Note: there are some extra security measures introduced for both runners and spectators. Personal belongings may be searched and some roads access may be restricted. Thanks for understanding.

Charity

Tochka Opory Foundation

 

 

The Tochka Opory Foundation is the official charity partner of the White Nights Marathon. You can make a donation to support the development of adaptive sports when registering for the race. 

The foundation provides prompt targeted assistance to athletes with disabilities and sports federations when there is no government funding available for purchasing equipment, gear, or covering travel expenses for competitions. It focuses particularly on sports that are not yet recognized by the government and therefore lack public funding. In 14 years, the Foundation has supported over 30 sports. 

You can make a donation when registering for the race or on the Tochka Opory website. No donation is too small – every donation matters.

Bolshe Chem Mozhesh Foundation

The official charity partner of the 2025 White Nights Marathon is Bolshe Chem Mozhesh Foundation.

Bolshe Chem Mozhesh is a charitable foundation supporting the development of inclusive sports. Since 2016, the foundation has helped people with disabilities lead active lifestyle and become amateur athletes regardless of their diagnoses.

The foundation’s mission is to create an environment where people with disabilities can regularly engage in sports, develop motivation, and reshape how society views disability and potential. Most beneficiaries are individuals with cerebral palsy and other conditions that typically make sports inaccessible. Thanks to the support of volunteers, professional coaches, and rehabilitation specialists, participants who once couldn’t take a single step are now crossing finish lines at marathons and races. Inclusive training sessions – where people with and without disabilities train together – help foster closer connections and create shared experiences where none existed before.
