More than 2500 persons are running in the Tirana Marathon this Sunday morning. The race includes a 10k, half marathon, and full marathon.
Albanian runners are joined by those from neighbouring countries and many expats and immigrants living in Tirana.
The course runs through some of the city’s main attractions in the central area of Tirana and includes also the path around Tirana Lake.
The Tirana Municipality has blocked the vehicle circulation in some of the city’s main arterial roads, causing traffic problems and other disruptions throughout the city.
The traffic will be blocked until 17:00 on Sunday in Mother Theresa Square, Deshmoret e Kombit Boulevard, Zogu I Boulevard, the Block area, and Bajram Curri Boulevard.
