- Where is the race packet pickup located?
- Packet pickup typically takes place at the Boris Trajkovski Sports Centre or a central square marquee in the three days leading up to the race. Check your official registration email for the specific 2026 hall number.
- Are the roads fully closed for the marathon?
- Yes, major boulevards are closed to traffic. However, the marathon has a 5.5-hour time limit. After this, runners may be asked to move to the pavements.
- What is the course profile like?
- The course is remarkably flat and fast. It consists of two laps for the full marathon, running through the city's main boulevards with very minimal elevation gain, making it ideal for a personal best.
- Can I use public transport on race day?
- Public buses are often rerouted due to road closures. It is highly recommended to stay within walking distance of the Assembly of the Republic (start line) to avoid logistical stress.
- How do I get from the airport to the city centre?
- There is a Vardar Ekspres airport bus that aligns with flight arrivals and drops off near the Holiday Inn (5 mins from start). Alternatively, official taxis have a fixed price of approximately 25 EUR/1500 MKD.
- Is there a bag drop at the start?
- Yes, a secure bag drop is provided near the Assembly building. Use the official bag provided in your marathon kit and allow 20 minutes for the queue.
