Chisinau celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Chisinau International Marathon 2019

Today, September 29, 2019, the fifth anniversary edition of the "Chisinau International Marathon" ended in Chisinau. Thousands of participants gathered in the Grand National Assembly Square: beginner runners, professional athletes, wheelchair athletes and record holders from Moldova and foreign countries. Some participated to test their strengths, and others - to set new personal records. But all participants were united by one goal - to overcome their distance in the most grandiose running competition in Moldova and to give "five" to the fifth anniversary edition of the "Chisinau International Marathon".

The sporting event started with a traditional muscle warm-up, after which the participants lined up at the starting line.

The athletes in wheelchairs and their assistants (volunteers) started the competition first. The race started at 8:55. The athletes had to overcome one of the 3 distances of their choice: 10 km, 21 km or 42 km. All the participants in the "Marathon for All" did a great job with this task and recorded incredible results.


At 9:00 the start was announced for the rest of the participants in the distances: "Marathon by #BeActive" (42 km 195 m), "Half Marathon by Technosoft" (21 km 0975 m), "10 km Race by Naturalis" and " 5 km Race by Herbalife ”, as well as the fun race“ Fun Run by Iute Credit ”of 1.5 km.
An atmosphere of competition and sports passion reigned during the competition. An important role for most of the participants was played by the support group: friends and relatives, who came to support the runners, as well as the organizers and volunteers of the event, who encouraged and motivated the athletes in the starting area and at the pit stops.
