Palermo hosts half marathon: city closed to traffic
The article outlines the major participants for the XI Palermo Half Marathon, which will take place between Mondello and the city center. The organization, led by former Italian national team player Nando Sorbello, is satisfied with the quality and quantity of participants, with over 1,300 registered from 30 countries. African runners are expected to dominate, with athletes like Burundian Oliver Irabaruta and Kenyan Joseph Kimeli Kimutai among the favorites. The race will start at 9:30 from Mondello and finish at Politeama square. The event also includes a 10-kilometer race and a non-competitive Cammarata Sport Walkthon. The course for the 2024 edition has been modified to make the race more spectacular, with a shorter passage through Favorita Park and a turnaround at Politeama square. The Traffic and Mobility office has issued an ordinance restricting vehicle traffic and parking in various city streets and squares during the event.
