Roads in Athens to close for marathon

Traffic police gradually began cordoning off main roads across Attica and the capital on Friday in view of this weekend’s 39th Athens Authentic Marathon as well as the 10- and 5-kilometer road races.

Around 45,000 runners have registered for the various events.

A call center (210.870.8237, 210.870.8238 and 210.870.8239) has been set up so that people can find out about the prevailing traffic conditions and proposed alternative routes.
