It will be mandatory to show the registration slip and some proof of identity in order to be entitled to pick up the official number. If the person collecting the number is not the official holder, a proper authorization must be provided, along with a photocopy of the official holder’s D.N.I. or similar.

Each runner that participates in the Marathon must be responsible for their own actions and posses a level of physical strength to compete. Therefore, we recommend going to doctor or doing an endurance test before the Marathon in order to ensure that you are ready for the race.
