- Where is the bib collection (Expo) located?
- Packet pickup typically happens at the Chicalim Sports Complex (the race venue) on the two days preceding the race. Check your runner email for specific time slots.
- What is the course profile like?
- The course is primarily flat as it follows the Zuari River, though there are minor undulations and one notable incline near the 5km/15km mark depending on the loop.
- Will there be hydration stations?
- Yes, hydration stations are placed every 2km providing water, electrolytes, and occasionally local oranges or salt.
- What is the start time for the full marathon?
- The full marathon usually starts at 04:30 to avoid the midday Goa heat, followed by the Half Marathon at 06:00.
- Is there a gear drop at the venue?
- Yes, a secure baggage counter is available at the Chicalim Sports Complex. Use the tag provided in your race kit.
- How do I get to the start line on race morning?
- Taxis are the most reliable way. It is highly recommended to pre-book a taxi through your hotel the night before as ride-hailing apps like Uber/Ola do not operate in Goa (use the GoaMiles app instead).
