I would like to thank the Mayor, Mr. Adam Korol, and Mr. Borawski for their kindness, and the Traffic Management Office for their cooperation. The Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon showcases the most beautiful places in the city, while we have done everything to minimize disruptions for residents. For example, while runners run around Nowy Port, residents will still be able to exit via Oliwska and Gda\u0144ska Streets, and Hallera Avenue. From 11:30 a.m., Marynarki Polskiej Street will be open, and there will be no disruptions in the district. The greatest disruptions will occur on Ch\u0142opska and Rzeczypospolitej Streets, but even there, we are only taking up one lane towards Sopot \u2013 the road towards Gda\u0144sk city center will remain passable. We have also prepared 11 support zones, including three from our partner, Energa, and one from Tr\u00f3jmiasto.pl. A grassroots neighborhood support zone was created by the Zaspa-Rozstaje district council.,<br>We&#039;re especially proud of this event, as we want to show the friendly side of the marathon \u2013 it&#039;s not just about closing streets, but also about celebrating and promoting physical activity.
