I ran the Gran Canaria Half Marathon which is part of a marathon event for the first time. The race is perfectly organized and the course is flat and beautiful. If the wind is not too strong it´s a course to run pb. I was lucky as the weather could not have been more beautiful. Sunny skies, no wind and temperatures around 15-20 degrees. Very good control at the entrance of the corrals so that only runners of my pace were in my corral. The course is beautiful and takes runners through downtown and then to the seaside and back. It´s not boring at all and the finish along the beach is really beautiful. Water, energy drinks and bananas as well as nuts are provided along the course. Every km is clearly marked (you can´t miss the huge signs!). All in all a fantastic race which can be combined with beautiful days on the canary islands!
