Korça Police announced the full plan for order and safety during the National and International Marathon scheduled for tomorrow in Pogradec.

The event will start on July 26 at 19:00. The “Maraton Albania” sports association is organising the marathon in cooperation with Pogradec Municipality. The activity is part of the national and international competition calendar.

The marathon includes two races. The 21-kilometre half-marathon will start from Lin village. The route will follow the lakeside road and end in the centre of Pogradec. The 10-kilometre mini-marathon will start at the city centre. Runners will continue along the Pogradec–Buçimas–Tushemisht road and return via the lakeside promenade and the city’s inner ring.

Police confirmed that officers will take all needed measures to keep public order. Their focus will be to secure participants, manage vehicle flow, and avoid traffic incidents.

Because of the race, traffic restrictions will be in place. The left lane of the Lin–Pogradec road will close during the event. Both lanes of the Tushemisht–Pogradec road will also remain blocked. Some roads within the city will stay closed until the marathon ends.

Traffic restrictions will last from 19:00 to 21:00.

Korça Police urged drivers to cooperate with the temporary limits. They asked for understanding to help ensure a safe and smooth sports event.
