Kaunas Akropolis Marathon is flat and fast, yet dynamic at the same time: runners will encounter several small hills – near Kaunas Castle, Smetona Bridge and Panemunė – as well as a few different road surfaces. These vary from smooth asphalt to the cobblestone pavement of the Old Town and park paths, so the experience will be fast and dynamic. In total, the route has 95 m of ascent and 85 m of descent.
