Unofficial Disc Golf Marathon World Championships Underway in Mäetaguse

This weekend, Mäetaguse Disc Golf Park in Estonia is once again the site of a truly unique challenge: the unofficial Disc Golf Marathon World Championships, a continuous endurance event that started on May 11 and stretches into the early hours of May 12.

Players aim to cover a marathon distance of 42,195 meters by playing 19 loops across five different courses—Royal Bear, Bear Queen, Polar Bear, Red Panda, and Teddy—plus bonus holes. With headlamps off and only glow discs and UV lights in play, competitors will throw into the night, navigating the woods until sunrise.

This is not the first time this kind of event has taken place in Mäetaguse. Last summer Kaspar Aruvee and Tarmo Tomson made headlines after completing a personal disc golf marathon, playing continuously for over 30 hours and walking approximately 100,000 steps. As they humorously put it: “We’re world champions by default—no one else showed up.”

The format this year remains light-hearted but demanding. Eight players, split into two-player cards, pace themselves through the challenge with minimal breaks. The rules are informal, the gear recommendations specific (bring socks, glow discs, and tape), and the reward? A cold beer at the finish line.

Live scoring is available on Discgolfmetrix, where Kuldar Parv currently holds the lead.

In a region rapidly becoming a disc golf haven—thanks to diverse courses, low crowds, and rich nature—Mäetaguse once again proves itself a stage for both absurd feats and unforgettable camaraderie.
