High altitude, rolling city

Run at 2,640 m — one of the world's premier altitude halves.

Because earned altitude rewrites what you thought the day could hold.

Air is thin — breath is teacher.

Race Day

Practical & atmospheric notes

Warm to hot. Early start, shade-line and salt matter — carry more water than you think you need.

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.

Nearly the whole race is a quiet segment. Save the deepest presence for kilometres 7–15 where the land narrows.

Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day

Race day is genuine trail terrain with elevation. Wheelchair and stroller access is not viable on the official line — a paved shorter alternative in the host city is suggested under recovery variations.
