About the Rock 'n' Roll Quito Half Marathon
This is the first Quito stop in the Rock 'n' Roll series, and altitude is the defining fact rather than a side note. The event combines a large-city road half with music zones and a central finish, but runners arriving from sea level should treat the effort as a high-altitude race from the opening kilometers.
Course
The point-to-point route starts at Isaac Albéniz and Avenida Galo Plaza Lasso and finishes at Plaza San Francisco in Quito's historic center. The organizer places the course at 2,850 meters above sea level and allows four hours. The combination of altitude and city elevation changes makes even conservative goal pace demanding.
Race-day weather
The organizer lists an average air temperature near 64°F / 18°C. At 2,850 meters, runners should still plan around the event forecast and altitude rather than reading that mild average as a guarantee of easy racing conditions.
