Character
Coastal cliffs, rolling

Malecón cliff run over the Pacific.

Because moving beside water borrows its willingness; the current does part of the pacing for you.

Fog and ocean — soft feet on the cliff path.

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.

Water sections between km 18 and km 24 thin the crowd — breathe long, let the current pace you.

Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day

Rolling road profile — handcycles handle it with pacing help. Suitable for sturdy strollers on the flatter first and last thirds; expect a couple of longer gradients in the middle.
