Tips: La Laguna sits at about 550 metres above sea level and mornings can be cool, so bring a layer for before the start. Start calmly on the cobbled streets of the centre and find your rhythm on the avenues. Bib exchange: registration is non-transferable and cannot be changed without the organiser's authorisation. A name change or bib change is therefore only possible if the organiser authorises it. There are no official waiting lists. Alternatives to get a bib: register early, as places are limited, and join the waiting list on Bibready with a bib alert. A bib exchange on Bibready is only possible if the organiser authorises the change. FAQ: - When is it?
