Av. Reina Maria Cristina will be closed to traffic from early in the afternoon on Friday 17 until 5 pm on Sunday 19.

Once the marathon sets off on Sunday, roads will be closed to traffic as runners make their way around the circuit. Vehicles will be unable to circulate where the event occupies the whole road surface. In all other cases, vehicles and runners will share the space available, with the needs of athletes always taken into account. Roads will gradually be reopened to traffic as the competitors complete the different sections.
