Course details
The launch of the National Flag Square, which is the starting point of the route, took place in 2010 and is now considered one of the main sights of the city. The place chosen for the square allows the state flag to be seen from different points of the capital.
The flagstone, which is 162 meters in height, is second in the world according to this indicator. Starting from the start point mentioned above, the participants will travel about 6 km from Neftchilar Avenue starting from the newly built part of the Seaside National Park. This part of the route covers the ancient city (Icheri Sheher, Maiden Tower) and its modern spaces.
After this beautiful contrast and 6 km distance on the back of the coast, the participants will move on Yusif Safarov Street. The final and most difficult part of the route begins after the participants flee about 2 km from this street, where the Museum of Modern Art and the Supreme Court are located. In this part of the route is the Heydar Aliyev Center, which is considered to be one of the pearls of modern world architecture, with a mysterious architectural structure. The building of Heydar Aliyev Center is known worldwide as the symbol of modern Baku and was awarded in June 2014 by the prestigious London Design Museum "Design of the Year 2014".
This final part, which is about half of the marathon distance, continues to the Olympic Stadium in Heydar Aliyev Avenue. The Baku Olympic Stadium, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies of the First European Games, was designed and built in accordance with the international standards of UEFA, FIFA and IAAF. This stadium, which has a capacity of 68700 spectators, was presented in the international press as the Allianz Arena of the Caucasus.
Baku Olympic Stadium is the biggest stadium in Azerbaijan and the Caucasus, the 7th best sports arena in the world.
