Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat and Fast

    The course is pancake flat with just 45 m of total climb, so settle into your goal pace early and hold it. Don't save energy for hills that never come.

    Loop Strategy

    It's a loop layout on wide streets, so you'll see the same crowds and landmarks more than once. Use those familiar sections to check your pace and stay relaxed.

    Cool Start

    Start at 08:15 with typical race-day temp around 12°C. Wear a light layer you can toss and don't overdress; the cool December morning favors fast running.

    Walkway Finish

    The finish is on a floating blue walkway over the City of Arts and Sciences pools. Stay relaxed on that final stretch and keep your form smooth as the surface changes.
