Notes: The 1929 marathon was unofficial. The 1938 (40 km) and 1956 courses were known to be short. The 1996 and subsequent races were not held at the same venue or at the same time as the remainder of the Balkan Games competitions and are termed the Balkan Championships. These championships were not held as separate races but were held as part of an existing marathon. The marathons for 1929-1955 and 1962 are assumed to have been held on the final day of the competition.
