Cautions
Part of the streets adjacent to the competition route will be closed during the event. We recommend that you consult their list available here to avoid any inconvenience if you choose to come to the start by car. Alternatively, you can use public transport, the fastest way being the metro to the Aviatorilor station, which is very close to the Expo area.
The organizer recommends parking the car within the limits of available spaces in the area to the right of Aviatorilor Boulevard.
People with disabilities can park their cars on the curb adjacent to King Mihai I Park (Herăstrău Park) on Bd. Aviatorilor, from the Pescăruș roundabout to Charles de Gaulle Square and as close as possible to the Ivelo point. When picking up the kits, they will receive a unique access permit to this area.
Please arrive at the event at least 30 minutes before the start of the race you are participating in.
