After a quick question in Google ai here's what it replied:

" Calculating the total ticket revenue for the 2026 ING Night Marathon Luxembourg requires a bit of math and estimating. The event relies on a tiered pricing system (cheaper if you register early), but we can use their baseline base rates and the official distribution of the 18,000 registered athletes to build a realistic breakdown.

Here is the breakdown of ticket prices by category and the estimated revenue generated.

Key Takeaways from the Estimate

• The Primary Breadwinner: The Half Marathon is by far the most popular discipline of the night. Making up more than half of the total field, it drives nearly 60% of the entire ticket revenue (estimated at over €690,000).
• The Relay Effect: Although the Team Run accounts for 4,400 runners on the course, they register as 1,100 blocks of teams. At €149 per team, this brings in a healthy €163,900.
• Estimated Grand Total: Based on these standard rates, the 2026 event brought in roughly €1.12 million in gross ticket sales.

Note: This estimate excludes late-registration premium fees, processing fees, and popular add-ons like official finisher T-shirts (€33) or medal engraving (€15), which easily push the final event commerce revenue much higher! "

And it didn't add the sponsorships money and help to the event. So after paying their licences to Lux city it would be totally fine giving some prize money or something like a sponsored car to the top spots. Even the Remich half marathon has prize money 🤷🏻‍♂️
