One of the eight European Marathon Classics and the largest running event in Spain. The course runs through the heart of the capital - past the Royal Palace, Retiro Park and Puerta del Sol - linking historic streets with the modern financial district. The race is known for live music along the entire route and the high-energy, party atmosphere characteristic of the Rock 'n' Roll Running series. The rolling course profile and Madrid's elevation above sea level make it one of the more demanding starts among the European Classics, especially in the final uphill kilometers.
