Strumica on street - Strumica na ulica

On August 26, 2018 (Sunday) in Strumica, the first half marathon “Strumica on the street” was held. A total of 184 competitors from 6 countries took part in the men’s and women’s competitions in three races, half marathon, 10 km and 5 km. The participants ran on a circular path with a length of 5000 meters through the lighted boulevards of the city of Strumica. Weather conditions were difficult due to exceptionally warm weather and temperature above 30 degrees, but this did not prevent competitors from reaching remarkably good times. In the men’s competition, Atanas Anchevski wins the half marathon from Macedonia, while Elena Dimitrovska won the women’s competition. In a tied race of 10KM in men’s competition, winner was Franco Notti from Switzerland, and second place went to Zan Tosev. Daniela Aleksova won the women’s competition in the 10km race. In all races, competitors from almost all of the biggest athletic clubs from Macedonia took part, making this event a lot of attention in the athletic world.
