The return of the 10,000th turnout!

The number of participants who ran the half-marathon distance was 10,049 – the highest turnout since 2019 – that is, since before the pandemic, when running was at its peak of popularity! The return of more than 10,000 runs is encouraging and pleasing to the participants themselves – running in major sporting events is an opportunity to celebrate your passion in a truly unique way.
