Gran Canaria Marathon 2011
Race Information:
On the 23rd January the second Gran Canaria Marathon will be held in Las Palmas. Being Europe's most southern road marathon and with average January temperatures being above 20°C it is easy to see why over 3000 runners from 26 countries chose this marathon last winter.
Marathon:
If you like the idea of running a marathon in January without your hat, gloves and thermal top then the Gran Canaria Marathon is for you. The Marathon's flat course winds its way through the historic centre of Las Palmas and then takes runners along the sea front at Las Canteras beach (one of the World's best urban beaches).
Half marathon:
The half marathon follows the same route as the marathon through Las Palmas, and it is just the right sort of course to aim for a PB.
5km:
Tagged as a 'fun run' this race attracted some very stiff competition in 2010 making it equally as challenging for the average fun runner and the serious athlete alike.
