Pro tips

  1. 01

    Rolling 210m Climb

    The course is hilly with 210 m of total climb and rolling, gradual sections, so run the uphills by effort instead of surging. Adjust your goal pace because this is harder than a flat city half.

    Crowd Energy in the Center

    Large crowds gather along key sections, especially near the historic center, creating a lively atmosphere. Use their support on the harder parts, but stay aware of tighter running.

    Not a Flat PB Course

    This race is more challenging than many flat city half marathons. Set a conservative target and treat the rolling climbs as the main test.
