More details

Getting to the start

Start/finish confirmed at Alytaus rotušės aikštė (Alytus Town Hall Square), described by the organizer as a symbolic 'return to where everything began.' No bus/train/parking or shuttle info found on the official site.

Getting to the finish

Same Town Hall Square location as start, per official site.

Transit card

No dedicated IC transit card system in Alytus; Lithuania's rechargeable cards (like Vilnius's Vilnieco kortele) are city-specific and do not cover this smaller Dzukija region city. Local buses and taxis accept cash or contactless bank card payment directly.

This is best treated as a car/taxi-access town for race day.
