Getting to Seville

Seville airport is served by one special airport line, the EA. On the tourist board's 2023 timetable it left the arrivals area every 12 to 15 minutes through the day, from 5:20 until 1:00 at night. It called at Santa Justa station, Prado de San Sebastián and the Plaza de Armas bus station. Prado de San Sebastián is also one of the stops the organiser lists for the start area. Timetables change, so check Tussam's current one.

For the start, use the TUSSAM city buses, the metro or the Renfe commuter trains. On race day the city's buses are free for runners showing their bib and for volunteers, from 6:00 to 18:00, with extra services near the start and finish. Bus lines C1, C2, 1, 3, 5, 6 and 34 serve the area, at Prado de San Sebastián, Virgen de Luján and Paseo de las Delicias. Metro line 1 has Puerta de Jerez, Prado de San Sebastián and San Bernardo close by. Commuter lines C1, C4 and C5 stop at San Bernardo and Virgen del Rocío.

The city's sports institute also publishes a list of bus lines that stop or divert that morning, and the list isn't dated. The list shows the circular lines C1 to C5 suspended for part of the day, which does not match the organiser's own list. Check Tussam's notice for race week, because neither page is certain.

If you drive, arrive early to avoid congestion.

Where to stay in Seville

Choose accommodation near one of the stations serving the Seville start. Anywhere near Prado de San Sebastián, San Bernardo or Puerta de Jerez has the metro or buses for the start. The finish is on the Paseo de las Delicias.

The expo is at FIBES, served by bus routes 27 and B4 and by the C4 commuter line, which stops at Palacio de Congresos.

Collecting your number

You collect at the runner's expo at FIBES, Alcalde Luis Uruñuela 1, on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February from 10:00 to 20:00 without a break. Bring the registration receipt and an ID card or passport. The race bag is handed over there as well, and you need your bib to get it.

If you can't go yourself, someone else can collect for you with your receipt, a photocopy of your ID and a signed authorisation. You cannot collect your number on race day in Seville.

The expo has a pasta party, talks and merchandise, and entry is free. On the Friday and Saturday the city runs extra buses on the routes to FIBES.

Race morning

The first start is at 8:30. Waves are set by time band, and your wave is emailed to you and printed on your bib. The bands are under 2:45, then 2:45 to 3:00, 3:00 to 3:15, 3:15 to 3:30, 3:30 to 3:45, 3:45 to 4:00 and over 4:00. The start times for each wave aren't published yet. There are pacers for 2:45, 3:00, 3:15, 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, 4:30 and 5:00.

The bag drop is at the port on Avenida Santiago Montoto, near the Aquarium, about 500 m from the start line. It's open from 6:45 to 15:30. You can only use the official runner's bag from the expo, with your bib number sticker on it, and staff may ask you to open it. Hand your bag in at least 20 minutes before your wave starts. The organiser takes no responsibility for what's inside, so leave the valuables at home.

The finish line closes at 15:00. The regulations give a maximum of 6 hours from the last runner's start.

The course

The route runs through the old city and across the river, from Avenida de María Luisa to Paseo de las Delicias, passing the Alameda de Hércules, Plaza Nueva and the Paseo de Cristóbal Colón on the way. The organiser publishes a map and a street-by-street route but no profile or climb figure.

The regulations put water and isotonic drink at 5, 10 and 15 km, with water, drink, gels, energy bars, fruit and nuts at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 km, and smaller stations at 7.5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 32.5 and 37.5 km. The 2026 aid page gave different kilometre points, with gels at 20.7 and 29.6 km, so the 2027 stations may move. In 2026 there were portable toilets at 4.6, 9.4, 15.3, 20.7, 25.4, 29.6, 34 and 40.3 km, as well as at the start and finish.

Weather in Seville in February

February in Seville is cool at 8:00 and warm by 13:00. These are the last five race days at the start on Avenida de María Luisa, at 8:00 and at 13:00. The wind in the table is between 5 and 12 km/h.

On these five Seville race days, it was 6 to 9 degrees warmer by 13:00. Anyone still running at lunchtime faced warmer conditions.

Afterwards

Your bag is waiting at the port, not at the finish, so allow for the walk before you go home. The city's buses stay free until 18:00.

Other race weekends

Close by, and with guides of their own, are Valencia Marathon and Valencia Half Marathon.
