STARTING CORRALS
Corral system
The corral pens and starting assignments ensure an orderly start for participants of different paces. Based
on the expected finishing time that was provided with your registration, you will be assigned with a race
number and corral that corresponds with your estimated time of completion. Madrid features a mass start,
all corrals start the race together.
*Look at your race bib, it will have a box with the number of your corresponding corral.
Course Time Limit
To ensure the roads are open to traffic on time, the time limit for the Marathon is 6 hours:
Half Marathon is 3 hours; 10K is 1 hour 30 minutes; Hand bike and wheelchair marathon time limit is and
3 hours 30 minutes. All times are strictly enforced. The time limits start when the last participant and the
tail vehicle cross the start line.
If the pace of a participant is behind the official pace limit, they can:
• Increase their pace to stay within the time limit of the race.
• Get in the tail car which will transport them to the finish line.
If you complete a distance other than the distance of your official bib number, you will be
disqualified. For example, you cannot run the half marathon with a marathon bib number,
or run the half marathon with a 10K number.
PACERS
Each race will have pacers with different race paces. According to their time they will be in different starting
corrals. Pace Teams will always be visible for the runners that want to follow their pace.
PACERS Times:
• Marathon: 3h/ 3h15min/ 3h30min/ 3h45min/ 4h/4 h15min/ 4h30min/ 4h45min/ 5h

• 10K: 40min/ 45min/ 50min/ 55min/ 1h
RACE NUMBER & TIMING CHIP
The correct placement of the Race Number with the timing chip is very important. The timing chip is
attached to the back of the Race Number. Do not remove it. The Race Number must be placed on your
chest and nowhere else. Please don’t bend or tamper with the bib before the race, and try to ensure that
no device like a watch interferes with the bib when you cross the START or FINISH line. More information
is available on the race website http://timerunners.es/use-of-dorsal-chip/ and at the Official Timer
TIMERUNNERS http://www.timerunners.es
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE RACE

Run within your capabilities and slow down in the event of sudden fatigue. Before any negative symptoms
appear, slow your pace or even stop. If there is no clear improvement, ask for help. There is medical
assistance along the course of the EDP Rock´n´Roll Madrid Marathon & ½. If you can no longer continue,
there will be several tail vehicles that can pick you up and take you to the finish line. Along the course there
