Seychelles Marathon is a well organised race starting at Beau Vallon on Mahé Island. Runners can choose between the distances 42/21/10/5k. This year 130 half and 70 full marathoners were registered. Race Pick Up took place in Victoria in the office of Seychelles Marathon and it was very personally and warm hearted. The course is extremely tough with elevation about 1000 meters. Scenery is beautiful as the course is all along the coast. As temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius even in the morning and the humidity is extremely high, I would consider it as one of the hardest races I’ve ever run. All runners get a medal and a T-Shirt (different colours for different sizes). The finishers of the half/marathon also get a fresh coconut! 😃
