Pack this
- Sunglasses, cap and SPF 50 sunscreen for spring sun at 17°C+
- 4-6 gels or chews, one every 30-40 min after the first hour
- Electrolyte tabs to add to aid-station water
- Throwaway layer for the cool early start at Plaza de San Juan de la Cruz

What you should know
- Start and finish are in different places: San Juan de la Cruz start, Paseo de Recoletos finish. Plan your transport.
- Madrid sits at about 650m altitude, and the course has rolling climbs, so pace the early kilometres conservatively.
- Check the official cutoff times and sweeper schedule. Roads reopen behind the sweep vehicle.
- Wheelchair and handbike athletes usually start separately. Runners should keep right if racing chairs pass.
- Midday sun can push temperatures past 20°C. Drink at every aid station and slow down if you feel overheated.
