As the \u201cSwedbank Vilnius Marathon\u201d approaches on September 14, the main partner \u201cSwedbank\u201d has brought together transport service providers to offer better conditions for more sustainable travel to and from the marathon.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravel by participants and spectators makes up a significant part of the CO2 footprint of large events. That\u2019s why we decided to bring together partners offering sustainable transport services, who can provide better travel prices for marathon participants and their supporters \u2013 helping to reduce the environmental impact of the event,\u201d said Karolina Semionovait\u0117, Head of Sustainability at Swedbank.<\/p>\n

Discounts for intercity travel<\/strong><\/p>\n

A significant number of marathon participants and their supporters come from other cities. To make their trip easier, intercity transport providers \u201cLTG Link\u201d and \u201cKautra\u201d will offer a 30% discount on tickets to and from Vilnius during the marathon weekend, September 13\u201314.<\/p>\n

The discounts will be available with the code SWEDBANK<\/strong>, when purchasing tickets on the carriers\u2019 websites or via their mobile apps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to contribute to the Vilnius Marathon \u2013 we invite participants to travel by train, as it is not only a convenient but also a sustainable way to reach the event and reduce environmental impact,\u201d said Kristina Meid\u0117, CEO of LTG Link.<\/p>\n

Getting around the city \u2013 scooters and bikes<\/h3>\n

Due to traffic restrictions and limited parking on marathon day, participants and spectators in Vilnius are encouraged to use public transport, bicycles, or scooters to get to the event.<\/p>\n

The mobility platform Bolt<\/strong> will offer marathon participants and spectators a 30% discount<\/strong> for traveling to and from the event using electric scooters and bikes. Each user will be able to use the discount code SWEDBANK<\/strong> twice on September 14 \u2013 once for arriving at the event and once for returning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe marathon is an important event that brings together the city\u2019s active community, so we are delighted to contribute to making it comfortable for everyone to enjoy. Participants and spectators traveling to the marathon by scooter will also save time they would otherwise spend stuck in traffic or searching for a parking spot,\u201d said Benas Jurlovas, Head of Bolt\u2019s shared micromobility services.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great news that our transport partners are offering significant discounts for runners and spectators \u2013 this is a direct investment in participants\u2019 comfort and sustainability. Most importantly, it\u2019s a solution that works for everyone: both those coming from other cities and those living in Vilnius,\u201d said Gediminas Paj\u0117da, Director of the Swedbank Vilnius Marathon.<\/p>\n
