Character
City, mostly flat, historic

Old Town cobbles to National Stadium — a city rebuilt from memory.

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

Run with quiet respect through the old squares.

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

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.
