The 85th edition of the Galata – Varna swimming marathon will take place on July 27, coinciding with the day the city celebrates its liberation from Ottoman rule. The decision was made by the organizing committee, which includes representatives from the Bulgarian Navy, the Municipality of Varna, and the PSK “Cherno More” swimming club.
The organizers explained that in recent years, the sea conditions have tended to change more rapidly in the hours after the race start during the first week of August, when the event is traditionally held. This observation led to the decision to move the date.
This summer, organizers expect increased interest in the Galata – Varna marathon. The tradition of online registration will continue, and the official registration start date will be announced soon.
