The route changed this year since the runners will now pass through the Gran Parque de la Plancha, while 90 percent of it will remain the same as in previous editions.

The departures will be at different times. The marathon starts at 5 a.m., and the walk at 6:05 a.m. This year, they expect the participation of 4 thousand runners.
