Where does it start and finish?
Start and finish sit beside the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences — one of the flattest, fastest half courses in the world.
Where should I stay?
Ciutat Vella (old town) for atmosphere and a short walk to transport, or Eixample near the course for an easy race-morning.
How do I get from the airport to the start?
VLC airport is ~20 min by Metro line 3/5 to the centre; the start is a further 15-min walk or short Metro hop.
What else is on that weekend?
Saturday shakeout along the Turia Gardens (a 9km park in a former riverbed), the expo at the City of Arts, and paella in Ruzafa afterwards.
