According to him, the fact that the number of participants in the second marathon has doubled shows how successful this initiative is.
“I think that the Baku Marathon is in a certain sense a competition of solidarity,” added Jabbarov.
The Baku Marathon 2017, organized at the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, kicked off on Apr. 30.
The course of the marathon covers a distance of 21 kilometers from its start point at the National Flag Square to the finish line at the Baku Olympic Stadium.
The marathon started at 10:00 (GMT +4). A maximum of 4.5 hours will be given to the marathon runners to overcome the distance of 21 kilometers.
There will be five bus stops along the marathon route: in front of Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, by the Boulevard Hotel Baku, near the Heydar Aliyev Center, by the Koroglu Metro Station and on the Boyuk Shor Park-Boulevard.
