Children's Marathon to Take Place in Bishkek; Some Streets to Be Closed

Bishkek is gearing up to host the Shoro Taykūlūk Kids Run, a vibrant event designed to encourage physical activity among the city's youth. Scheduled for May 24th, the race promises a day of fun and healthy competition for children aged 3 to 14.

The starting line is set at the Tursunbayev Square, with various race distances tailored to different age groups, ranging from a 300-meter dash for the youngest participants (3-5 years) to a 1-kilometer run for the 9-11 year olds, and a 2-kilometer race for the 12-14 year olds. This inclusive approach ensures that children of all ages within the specified range can participate and enjoy the experience.

To ensure the safety and smooth execution of the event, the Bishkek municipality has announced temporary traffic restrictions. From 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM on the day of the race, certain streets, including parts of Orozbekov Street and Abdrakhmanov Street, will be closed or have their traffic flow partially limited. These measures are standard for ensuring the well-being of young participants and facilitating the event's logistics. The city's tourism police will be on hand to manage security, with emergency medical services stationed at the finish line.
