Even Splits Course
The marathon loop carries just 40 m of total climbing, so there's no hill to excuse a slow patch. Settle onto goal pace early and hold it the whole way.

Cool Early Start
You start at 08:30 with typical race-day temperatures around 14C. Heat won't force you to back off, so plan to race this one rather than just finish it.

One Busy Loop
Both the marathon and half marathon run the same flat loop, so the opening kilometers are busy. Let the crowd hold you back before you hit your own pace.

Learn the Loop
Because the route loops back on itself along the port, the Paseo Marítimo and the old town, pick landmarks on the way out and use them to check pace on the return.

Go for the Time
The race is pitched as a fast, late-season personal best: flat route, mild December weather. Choose a realistic target before the start and commit to it.
