What you should know
- Ciudad Juárez sits at ~1,140m altitude — expect slightly reduced pace and hydrate more than at sea level.
- October sun is intense despite the mild 21°C air temp; radiant heat on open avenues can spike perceived effort.
- Course runs point-to-point through the city — plan post-race transport and a warm layer at the finish.
- Confirm bib pickup at the expo the day before; race-morning pickup is typically not offered for the full marathon.
- Respect course cutoffs and stay right to allow relay teams and lead vehicles to pass safely.
