City, flat, tropical

Grand Palace pre-dawn start — golden temples in the dark.

Because the streets themselves have carried footsteps for centuries — you are joining a very long relay, not starting a new one.

Humidity teaches — start slow, stay slow, finish present.

Race Day

Practical & atmospheric notes

Kind shoulder-season conditions — mild mornings, arm-sleeves off by kilometre eight for most runners.

A warm regional start — clubs in matching kit, coffee vans, a local mayor with a microphone. Human-scale and unhurried.

Steady, generous local support along the main boulevards and finish straight; genuine strangers-turned-friends handing out orange slices in the suburbs.

A quieter stretch usually opens up between km 17 and km 23 — an interior mile to return to yourself before the final push.

Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day

The official road is fully sealed and step-free on race day. Handcyclists routinely start with the elite wave; strollers welcome in the shakeout events.
