Barcelona Marathon
Barcelona Marathon is a flat marathon in Barcelona, Spain, held each March. A single city loop that is mostly flat, with a few long, gentle drags, past the Sagrada Família and along the seafront. Typically mild and often sunny, around 10-17C. On a course as flat as Barcelona Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
