Is there a time limit for the semi-marathon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is generally a 3-hour time limit to complete the course to allow for the reopening of roads along the coastline.

Is the course flat?

Parking at the Port is restricted on race morning. It is recommended to use the parking lots near the 'Haute Ville' (Upper Town) and walk down, or stay in a hotel within walking distance.

What is the typical weather for the race?

Accepted Answer

Mid-October in Corsica is usually temperate (18-22°C), but it can be humid or windy near the coast. Check the forecast for the 'Libeccio' wind.
