About the Zurich Rock 'n' Roll Madrid Marathon
The Zurich Rock 'n' Roll Madrid Marathon is the full marathon at Madrid's music-heavy spring running weekend. It gives runners a large European capital race with a rolling course, late-April weather variables, and a race-weekend results hub.
Course
The 42K course uses a city route rather than a pure speedway profile. Expect a major-capital race with long urban stretches, turns, and enough rolling terrain that even pacing matters more than early aggression.
Race-day weather
Late April in Madrid can start mild and finish warm. Dry air helps, but sun exposure and late-race warmth can punish runners who treat the early miles like a cool-weather PR course.
