The marathon room is committed to generating spaces of awareness regarding the well-being of citizens; It has an elite category –in which people between the ages of 18 and 40 can participate–, and another for veterans –for men and women over 40–. The route, which will begin and end in Turbay Park, is similar to that of the half marathon, with the difference that in the 10.5K distance, the runners will complete the stipulated route only once before reaching the finish line; while in the 21K, they will have to do it twice.
