DT19 14 Dec 10:57pm, 14 Dec 2025 954 posts	Quote Pin DT19 Yes, it's a relatively cheap and easy race to attend. The course is largely flat on long straight roads but a fair amount of time is spent running on the main rd alongside the med. Luckily there was no wind for the the most part, it picked up as per the forecast around 11am. On a worse day it could have been more of a slog into the wind much sooner, or of course alternatively a quality tail wind. Malaga however is an amazing city, with a great climate. The atmosphere is vibrant and packed and the Christmas lights are something to see. It was almost a shame to be here to run a marathon. I'd love to come back with friends or the wife just to enjoy the weekend.
