About this race
Seville in February is one of running's best-kept secrets. While the rest of Europe trains through cold, dark winters, Seville offers a flat, fast course in conditions that consistently produce fast times. The route passes the Cathedral (the world's largest Gothic cathedral), the Torre del Oro, María Luisa Park, and the banks of the Guadalquivir river. February temperatures of 10–14°C and low humidity create nearly optimal racing conditions. The field of around 8,000 runners is serious and international — this is a race where runners come specifically to chase a qualifier or a sub-3. It's not the largest or most famous marathon, but for pure performance potential in winter, Seville ranks alongside Rotterdam and Valencia as Europe's best.
