The Belgrade Marathon The best way to get to know the city – in running shoes You won’t need bus and tram tickets or taxi money for this tourist route – just running shoes There are several real- ly good reasons confirm- ing the veracity of the statement in the title of this text: the streets are free of traffic congestion and everything is much more tranquil; you’ll see the city’s residents from a different perspective; you’ll feel the energy of the city in a different way. The Belgrade Marathon, which has been held in the Serbian capital since 1988, is this year celebrating its 35 th birthday. It will take place on 15 th May and, should you decide to participate, you will pass by some interesting sights along the route. Rome was built on seven hills, but Belgrade has as many as 33 – which is why the Belgrade Marathon isn’t easy for those seeking to achieve their personal best marathon result. Belgrade is perched on the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube, and participants in this marathon cross two bridges in one day. This route al- so reveals some of the most impor- tant historical buildings in this city that’s rich with history.
