The Tirana Marathon has been postponed to November 14–15 amid recent developments in the country.

In a social media announcement, the organizers said they could not guarantee the safety standards required for an event of this scale under the current circumstances. The concerns cover both runners and spectators along the route.

“Your safety is not negotiable,” the organizers stressed, explaining that they had taken the decision to ensure the event meets the necessary safety requirements.

Meanwhile, all existing tickets will automatically remain valid for the new dates, so participants do not need to take any action. Registration remains open, and runners’ race kits have been safely stored. The organizers will distribute them two days before the official race.

The Tirana Marathon was originally scheduled for Sunday, October 25.
