🔄Key New Features 2026: An Optimized CourseThe organizers have listened to the runners to offer a superior experience:
- Separate Start and Finish: For the first time, they will not be in the same place. The starting line will be located on Avenida de María Luisa (in front of the Casino de la Exposición), allowing runners to start in waves to avoid crowding and so that each runner can run at their own pace from the very first meter. The finish line will remain on Paseo de Las Delicias (Glorieta de Buenos Aires).
- Flatter, Faster: The two sections through the Arjona street underpass have been eliminated, reducing the positive elevation gain and flattening an already fast route. This benefits both elite and amateur cyclists. More Animation: The historic route takes center stage, with 4 new animation points added (Ronda de Capuchinos, Resolana...).Successful Services Maintained: The excellent baggage check services at the Port and the post-finish area, already proven successful, will be retained.No Further Road Closures: These improvements will not cause any additional road closures in the days leading up to the race.Iconic Landmarks: The runners will pass through the Barqueta Bridge, María Luisa Park, the Cathedral and the Giralda (unique views), the Paseo de Colón, Plaza de España, and Isla de la Cartuja.
- Features: It's a circular and practically flat course, with minimal elevation change, making it accessible and fast.
