The 10th edition of Tirana Marathon has started today at 8: 00 a.m., gathering about 5,800 contestants in this sports event.

This year’s innovation is the inclusion of the 5km race, which aims to create more opportunities for citizens to participate in the event.

The organisation has been engaged for six months around 600 volunteers, 800 effective police officers and 500 Tirana municipality employees.

Because of the marathon’s development, until 4: 00 p.m. there will be restrictions on vehicle flow in some of the capital’s main axiss.

Tirana’s entire Little Ring will be blocked for vehicles, as will the First Zogu boulevard and the New Boulevard. The restrictions also include the segment from Skenderban Square to Mother Teresa Square, Cavaja Road, the Durres Street, Myslym Svizrinı, the streets of the former town, and the intersections that connect the boulevard to the Elbasan Way.

Meanwhile, the development of sports activity will also bring changes to public transportation, as several urban bus lines will divert their route today.
