Tips & Advice

  • Register early, especially if you participated in the previous year, as there's an exclusive early registration period for past participants.
  • Check your spam folder for the registration link if you're a returning runner, as emails may be filtered.
  • Confirm your t-shirt size availability before completing registration, as sizes may be limited and cannot be changed at the Runner's Fair.
  • Consider the cloakroom options carefully; the Vallecas cloakroom has an additional fee, and the mobile cloakroom at the start/finish line has a higher additional cost.
  • If you choose home delivery for your runner's pack, be aware that shipment dates are based on operational factors, not registration order.
