Maratón Lala: Focus on Recreational Part
The technical director of Maratón Lala, Rubén Romero, mentioned that one of the adjustments made to the event was the focus on the recreational part.
The prize money was reduced, which led to a decrease in attractiveness for international elite runners, however, benefits for recreational runners have been improved, such as a branded t-shirt that was delivered to them.

In addition, these adjustments open up the possibility of success for locals, such as Isabel Vélez and Daniel Ortiz, who are in a position to achieve something historic with the absence of previous edition winners and others who were attracted by the large cash prizes.
Regarding the route, it was mentioned that it is measured and remains unchanged from last year, with certification from the Federation.
The expected starting temperature is estimated to be around 11 degrees Celsius at 7:00 a.m. and around 24 degrees at 1:00 p.m.
