Course
The marathon starts and finishes at the Olympic Sport Centre Stadium in Taipa. The closed course links Taipa with the Macao peninsula over the sea-crossing bridges, passing the city's landmark buildings. Drinks come in the first 5 km and then every 2.5 km.
Race-day weather
The 6:00 start helps in early December, when Macao is usually mild and fairly dry. It can warm up quickly after sunrise, and the bridges are exposed to wind.
