ROUTES
Due to road works, we have had to change some routes. You must check the big wall poster on the Start-Finish tent for the latest updates. This will make sure you know about any changes and can plan accordingly. If in doubt, you can always change to another distance. 

CHALLENGE ROUTES
This year, we have two Challenge Routes for the well-trained hiker fearless of narrow mountain paths. Click here: Marbella2DaysChallenge.com.

If you are already registered, you can pay the price difference and swap the regular Saturday/Sunday route for a Challenge Route. Only 125 participants are allowed this year, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. More information and registration

PREMIUM SEATING AREA
Do you want to avoid getting up but be served at your table? This is possible when you book a Premium Seating Area. Your table will be ready with delicious bottles of cold drinks. After that, you can use the menu for bottle service.

CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR
The sun shines very often in Marbella, so always wear sun protection. Be prepared and bring clothes for the fresh morning and maybe a rain shower. Wear good, sturdy walking shoes or sneakers you have already broken into and are familiar with. Perhaps excessive, but every year, we also see participants arriving in flip-flops…. “don’t do it” 😉

INSURANCE
Remember to bring your international health insurance card with you. In principle, the ambulance will take you to a public hospital. If you have private insurance, you can check in advance if the policy covers private hospitals.
