FEATURES
Peoples Run – Memorial Mother Theresa is a running event which includes a 21,95 Km race (the standard lenght of a half marathon) and two non-competitive races (7 Km and 2 Km).
It will take place in Tirana (capital of Albania) on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the beatification of the greatest person of Albanian origin, Mother Theresa (19 Ottobre).

Temperature
At the end of October the average temperature in Tirana is never over 18/20° C.

TRACK
The Peoples Run takes place on a flat city track, closed to city traffic and controlled. The track has to be done 3 times for the half marathon and once for the 7 km non-competitive race. The children who will participate in the 2 Km race will go directly to the Central Skanderberg square and return to the starting point. The starting/arrival point is located in Mother Theresa Square near the University and the Stadium. The race will pass through the most beautiful area of Tirana which makes it similar to any other modern city.
There are however contrasts between the typical buildings of the communist era (such as the pyramids/mausoleum which are in the central avenue) and the examples of the fascist architecture built when Albania was part of the Italian Empire. A good part of the race runs along the avenues by the river, where numerous abusive buildings were thrown down and which now has become a symbol of the new Albania.
