Cautions
Part of the streets adjacent to the competition route will be closed during the event. We recommend consulting their list, available here, to avoid any inconvenience if you choose to come to the start by car. Alternatively, you can use public transportation, with the metro being the fastest option to the Aviatorilor station, which is very close to the area.
The organiser 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.
