«Almaty Marathon is the country’s largest racing event. Every year, the event is attended by participants not only from all regions of Kazakhstan, but also from other countries. The road closure for such large-scale events is international practice. We do our best in order to make traffic as much as possible by opening road sections as soon as the runners cover the distance. We hope for city residents’ understanding and recommend that you adjust the routes in advance, taking into account the road closures”, - commented Saltanat Kazybayeva, director of Almaty Marathon

The recommended route for driving to Republic Square by car:

1. Along Zheltoksan Street south to Satpayev Street,
2. Along Nazarbayev Avenue south to Stapayev Street,

In connection with traffic congestion, we recommend participants to get to the start site (Republic Square) by metro or along Abay Avenue or by buses along Abay Avenue (traffic on the north side). Please note that parking near the start-finish town (Republic Square) will be difficult.
