A day before the major sporting event “Tirana Marathon,” the capital hosted the “Fun Run Tirana” race, which gathered 2,000 students from primary and secondary schools. The participants ran along the “Dëshmorët e Kombit” Boulevard, promoting a message of encouraging youth education through sports.

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who awarded the first prizes, highlighted that such sports events not only promote physical activity and health but also provide a great opportunity for social interaction.

“All the winners  set a great example that while racing and running are about competition, they are also an exceptional opportunity to meet others, form new friendships, and lead a healthy life,” said the Mayor.

Veliaj added that the capital is ready to welcome 4,000 runners from various countries at Sunday’s Tirana Marathon.
