AurigaCrown Car Hire offers their clients ideas on different events and places to visit during their stay in Spain. In this article some insights into Seville and the annual marathon.
Starting and finishing at the Olympic Stadium, the Seville Marathon was established in 1985 and annually attracts an increasing number of athletes, spectators and volunteers. The gruelling 26-mile (42km) route passes many of the city's most famous sights which makes it a beautiful running route for the athletes.
The course is flat and fast, with start and finish line is located in the Olympic Stadium, on La Cartuja Island. The route takes runners though the City Streets crossing the mighty Guadalquivir River on four separate points. Most of the course is on the south bank of the river sending runners weaving their way around the historic centre of the city.
Apart from a spectacular cultural-historic running route, the marathon "Ciudad de Sevilla" has obtained the best score in the national ranking carried out by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation each year. Seville, with a score of 1243.20, ahead of the marathon cities like Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian, Vitoria, Malaga in 2011. This raking is determined by different concepts such as organizational capacity, number of participants, attention to runners, fitness level of the competition and quality of the participating athletes.
The city of Seville cares and works hard each year to have a full agenda of fun runs, half marathons and a marathon that stands out for its route and because of an organization and an affection that has received this national recognition.
By 2012, the marathon "Ciudad de Sevilla" meets the XXVIII edition, and expects to surpass the record number of participants from previous years. Seville is guaranteed a fairly level circuit, very broad avenues and all necessary facilities for the runners enjoy a unique experience.
The Seville Marathon, in true Andalusian party style is preceded with two days of events beginning with the runner's fair and a traditional pasta lunch at Palenque the day before the race.
