UNUSUAL MARATHON in Sarajevo on January 13: Running for Clean Air

(Patria) - The DEČKI U PLAVOM association is organizing the sixth edition of the international sports event "UNUSUAL MARATHON". The event will be held on Saturday, January 13, 2024, starting at 9:00 AM at the Wilson's Promenade location (near the ARS AEVI bridge). Around 250 runners from nine (9) countries are expected, and they will compete in three disciplines: marathon (42.2 kilometers), half marathon (21.1 kilometers), and quarter marathon (10.5 kilometers).

The race is organized under the slogan: Running for Clean Air - My mission no emission. This race is one of the ways the running community wants to highlight the problem of pollution in Sarajevo, i.e., Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The race route is on the section of Wilson's Promenade, Dolac Malta, Čengić Vila, Otoka, Alipašino Polje, Nedžarići, where the turnaround is and the return towards Wilson's Promenade.

Given that runners will be running on sidewalks and roads where traffic is prohibited on weekends, Dečki u plavom inform drivers that their comfort will not be disturbed, meaning there will be no complete traffic stoppage.
