Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes, great race. Flat and well organised. Can highly recommend it and Seville is a nice city too.

Great stuff - thank you! Do you know how much it cost, roughly?

30 euros I think. Flew to Malaga and go the train as that suited best time-wise but there are flights to Seville as well. Don't stay near the start as it is a bit out of the way. Hotel Becquer was where we stayed and it was OK.

Doing Amsterdam again in a couple of weeks. It's great and flat and you start and finish in a wonderful 1936 Olympic stadium.

Not knocking Saville as I've never been, but an alternative spring mara at the end of Feb could be Malta? Starts at the highest point on the island and finishes on the sea front with great crowd support. Point to point run but buses will take you from the finish area to the start in good time

Although at Malta you have to run round in circles and may have to wade through floods and run along the tops of walls ;-)

The roads were bad when I did Malta a couple of years ago. Put my back out at mile 6. Managed a PB but I would not be hurrying back for the marathon. The island itself was good. Seville is in a different class as a race.
