Two starting time of the marathon (42.2 K) |
First start: 7:30 am |
| |
Participants taking between 6 and 7 hours to run or walk the 42.2 K course, have to take
the 7:30 am start.
NOTE : Those taking this 7:30 am start, who will run or walk the course under 5:30, will have a minimum time of 5:30 at the official ranking. This is to avoid that participants who make less than 6 hours, take this departure. Given that streets close in a progressive way, it is necessary to avoid that participants arrive too early at an intersection which would not be secured.
