The prizes for the winners of the full marathon to be held for the first time on May 3 have been announced, APA reports.

The marathon, organized annually on the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, will be held as a full marathon for the first time this year, rather than a half-marathon. The top three male and female finishers who complete the 42-kilometer distance will each be awarded certificates and cash prizes.

The first-place winner will receive 6,000 AZN, the second-place winner 4,000 AZN, and the third-place finisher 2,000 AZN. In addition, all participants who complete the 42 km distance will be awarded medals.

Participants covering shorter distances will also be rewarded. Those who are unable to complete the 42 km distance but compete in the 21 km half-marathon, with the first 2,000 finishers receiving medals, while those who complete the 10 km distance will be awarded certificates.

Registration for participation in the marathon will end on April 25.
