- What is the altitude of San Luis Potosí?
- The city sits at approximately 1,864 metres (6,115 feet) above sea level. Runners from sea level should arrive at least 3-4 days early to acclimatize to the thinner air.
- Where is the main race expo for packet pickup?
- The expo is typically held at the Centro de Convenciones de San Luis Potosí or the Palacio Municipal. Check your registration for the exact 2026 location, as you must collect your bib in person.
- Is the course flat or hilly?
- The course is mostly flat with minor undulations as it passes through the historic center and along Avenida Carranza, making it a relatively fast route if you are adjusted to the altitude.
- What is the typical race day weather?
- November mornings in SLP are cool (approx 8-10°C), but it warms up quickly to 20-22°C by midday. Layering is recommended for the start.
- Are there official shuttle buses?
- Most athletes stay in the historic center and walk to the start. If staying further out, Ubers are reliable and inexpensive, but book early due to street closures.
- What gear should I pack?
- Sunscreen and a visor are essential due to high UV at altitude, even if it feels cool. Lightweight racing kits are best as the sun is strong.
