16,000 people for Geneva marathon
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The Geneva marathon, with 16,000 people, is on this weekend, as is the Romandie car rally, both of which will disrupt area traffic, say police.
The marathon starts Friday morning with registration at the Jardin Anglais in Geneva, with several events culminating in the big marathon and half-marathon races on Sunday. Expect detours and delays for the three days, with parking at a minimum in the city centre. Details
Also in Geneva Friday, the 1 May parade during the day will cause traffic problems, particularly from 15:00-16:30, around Blvd James-Fazy.
