This is a middle-distance race in an urban setting, serving as a warm-up for the City Race the following day.

The routes begin with some faster sections to familiarize runners with the map, followed by others that will require greater concentration to navigate the network of streets and find the optimal route. I think these sections will make for an entertaining race.

The routes for the higher categories include some rural areas, but only a small percentage.

On all routes, it's advisable to conserve some energy for the final uphill sections to reach the finish line.

During the test, attention should be paid to traffic, as it is not closed; taking special care on the wider streets..

The race takes place entirely within the historic center of Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage city.

Vehicle traffic is not prohibited, although it is restricted to residents and loading/unloading in many areas, so you won't encounter many cars. However, the large number of tourists and the narrow streets can affect your race speed. Although the route attempts to avoid the busiest streets, it's not possible to avoid them in the final section of the race, so you'll have a brief immersive experience managing tourists. Pay particular attention to turns and exits.

Regarding the course, it's a long-distance race; the winning time in almost all categories will be between 50 and 60 minutes. On the longer sections, you can choose the route that best suits both your physical condition and your ability to read and interpret the map. And the shorter sections will take you through narrow alleyways, viewpoints, historical monuments, staircases, ruins, city walls… The entire race will be a challenge both physically and mentally.

Finally, don't forget to pay close attention to the checkpoint descriptions to avoid choosing the wrong route, and most importantly: look up from the map from time to time to admire this wonderful city.

The F-Elite and M-Elite/Veterans/Superveterans categories have their routes printed on both sides of the map
