Dear runners, friends, and supporters of the marathon,

Given recent developments in the country, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the Tirana Marathon to November 14 and 15.

Under the current circumstances, we cannot guarantee the safety standards that a race of this size requires, not for the runners, nor for the public along the route. Your safety is not something we negotiate.

What changes and what stays the same:

Tickets: all tickets are automatically transferred to the new dates. No action is needed on your part.

Registrations: remain open. If you wanted to run and didn't manage to sign up in time, you still can.

Runner kits: are fully preserved and will be distributed 2 days before the official race.

A marathon isn't just 42 kilometers of running. It's a city coming out onto the streets together. That is exactly why we want it held when Tirana can give it the moment it deserves.

Let's hope for the best, and that our beautiful Tirana recovers in time.

Thank you for your understanding and for your trust.
