Course
Marathoners complete the measured urban circuit twice. The profile is quick, while repeated turns and the 2:30 first-lap cutoff demand consistent early pacing.

April commonly brings cool, favorable air, but rain and wind are possible. Open avenues can feel exposed, and a sunny second lap may warm noticeably.
