- What is the course profile like?
- The course is remarkably flat as it follows the coastal perimeter road of the island. The main challenge is the humidity and the breeze on the windward side of the island.
- Where is the packet pickup located?
- Packet pickup is typically held at the San Andrés GHL Hotel Sunrise or a similar central plaza 1-2 days before the race. Bring your ID and confirmation email.
- What time does the race start?
- Due to the tropical heat, the marathon usually starts very early, typically around 05:00 or 05:30 AM to finish before the midday sun.
- Is the course closed to traffic?
- While the main coastal road (Circunvalar) is partially restricted, some local traffic and golf carts may still be present. Local police manage the primary intersections.
- How do I get around the island?
- The most common way is by 'Mulitas' (utility golf carts) or taxis. For race morning, most hotels in the North End are within walking distance of the start.
- Are there hydration stations?
- Yes, hydration stations are placed approximately every 2-3km, providing water and local electrolyte drinks, which are critical in the 85%+ humidity.
