The route runs point to point from Elche to Alicante
Maratón Internacional Elche–Alicante is Sunday, December 13, 2026, starting at 9:00. The official site describes a certified point-to-point course from Elche to Alicante's port, with a near-flat profile and slight net descent.
Point-to-point logistics matter as much as the elevation profile. Confirm how you will reach the Elche start, where your belongings go and how you will leave the Alicante finish before booking a tight connection.
The slight descent does not justify an aggressive opening. Use familiar shoes, settle into effort early and reserve pace changes for the later kilometres. Recheck capacity, fee, route, collection and transport because those details can change.
Stop and seek appropriate care for severe symptoms or movement-changing pain.
