Just like every year, the marathon held in the largest city of Transylvania gathers thousands of people to the start of the event. This year, a number of 4 thousand runners came to participate in the races held on Sunday. Kenyan athletes won the traditional event but there were many other expats who stepped on the podium (a lot of internationals work in Cluj in the field of IT). It was one of the motivating facts that top 3 runners of each category received free entry cards for the first day of the Athletics World Championships, to be held in Budapest this August.
