Route Highlights

Between kilometres 5 and 10, follow the beautiful Mediterranean coastline from east to west on predominantly flat terrain – the perfect opportunity to push your pace!

At 12km, reach the furthest point of the course at the picturesque harbour along Rue Nicolás Salmerón, then begin your return journey alongside the sea.

After refreshments at 13km, pass the moving Memorial Park for Victims of Terrorism before continuing along Avenida Cabo de Gata. At 17km, turn back toward the city centre for the only modest climb of the course, concentrated in the final kilometres.
