A confirmed April marathon with the start venue still pending
The main race site currently mixes a December 6, 2026 half marathon with its link to the April 2027 event. The linked registration page explicitly identifies April 11, 2027 for the full marathon. Do not use the December half-marathon date, or an inconsistent year in the homepage link heading, for a full-marathon training calendar.
The current programme puts the full and half marathons at 05:30 and the 10 km and 5 km at 05:45. Early starts make the final entrance and transport instructions particularly useful. The organizer has not yet fixed the start and finish location on that registration page, so avoid selecting a race-morning drop-off from the expo address.
Bib collection is listed for Saturday, April 10, 08:00–18:00 at the Expo in the Centro Internacional de Convenciones, with the venue subject to change. The page does not offer another collection period. Build a Saturday arrival around the final confirmed hours and bring the documents requested in your own entry confirmation.
The route is described as undergoing certification, while other promotional wording on the page is less precise. Wait for the final certified course and applicable qualifying rules before relying on a qualifying-time claim. Check the full-distance map, cutoff and aid arrangements when published; the scenic destination alone does not establish a flat course or predictable conditions.
