Mexico City Marathon
The Mexico City Marathon is a historic event that began in 1983 and is held every August. It is known as a very tough race for runners as it is held at an altitude of 2,240m. The course passes through Mexico City's major tourist attractions and includes World Heritage sites. It is a large-scale event in which approximately 30,000 runners from all over the world participate, and the course has many ups and downs, with the uphill stretch from the 15km to 20km mark being a major challenge for runners. As it is a race at high altitude, it is important to acclimatize to the altitude, manage your physical condition, and take measures against the heat in advance.
