"Great Marathon" (about: 2019)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5

Fast marathon and very well organized.
Without a doubt, a great option out of the bigger ones.

"So many reasons to run Seville" (about: 2017)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4

A well organized event; Baggage drop, chip timing, drink stations at every 2.5k, clear starter pens and pace runners. Interesting route, taking in many of the main features of Seville. Number pick-up was simple...once you had managed to find the conference centre. Too far from the centre to return for the pasta party, and they were allocating 30 minute slots! Then the start stadium was also well out of the centre, but some transport was arranged in addition to a couple of regular bus numbers. However, after the event there was very little in the way of transport, with roads still closed. Needs better planning.A truly flat course, with well manned drink stations. Timing mats at most 5k sections provided good run data in the results.

A great marathon, the city just stops for five hours, it was my first in 2015 and already registered to 2016.

"Great race, great crowds, great city." (about: 2015)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 5

Loved the Seville Marathon, well organised with helpful marshalls from start to finish. A beautiful city that the race showcases - and a sunny climate all add up to a smash hit. I'll be back!
One thing, though, I was unable to purchase a T-shirt of the event. Can anyone help?

"Great Course - Chaotic Start" (about: 2015)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 4

Firstly, the course and hospitality in Seville were excellent. If you don't have Spanish language skills, you'll probably struggle a bit. Finding the registration venue was difficult. It is not in the central city area. Directions were difficult to understand. But once at registration, the process was easy and pleasant. The starting line and bag drop were not easy for me to find. Plan on a 1km walk between the drop and start. The local people were fantastic. Great food and fiestas afterward.

"Better every year!" (about: 2013)

11-50 previous marathons | 2 Sevilla (Seville) Marathons
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 5

This was the second time I ran the Seville marathon. Last year I was positive, but now I'm even more positive. Biggest change: a lot more fans along the course. Seville is a real marathon city, if you ask me!

The marathon is perfect for both fast runners and fun runners:
- The course is flat and very fast
- Not crowded (9.000 runners maximum)
- Well organized
- Nice finish in the Olympic Stadium
- City is beautiful and you see (almost) all of it during the race
- Cheap to compete (30 euro) and a nice running shirt and shorts for free
- Lot of fans along the route

Small down sides:
- The expo was in a distant part of the town, not easy to get there
- Almost all the communication is in Spanish (!)
- few people speak English, but they are very helpful

I'll be there next year!

"Superbe parcours plat" (about: 2014)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 5

Superbe parcours plat à travers la ville, ambiance très chaleureuse de la part des spectateurs.
Ravitaillements tous les 2.5km et météo idéale,soleil et fraîcheur le matin.
J'en garderai un super souvenir
 

H. S. from London, England (4/28/2013)
"Great City Great Atmosphere" (about: 2013)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5

I stayed at the hotel adjacent to the stadium, which was boring but extremely convenient. The route took on some old and new town and overall was excellent, with mainly Tarmac and minimal cobble stones which were not an issue for me.
Excellent goody bag, realistic price, brilliant cheap public transport and a fun before and after pasta party.
Once I have done other Marathons in my todo list I will definitely be back.

"Super fast course, Beautiful city!" (about: 2013)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 3

I'm very positive about this marathon:
- The course is flat and very fast
- Well organized during the race (that is the most important part)
- Nice finish in the Olympic Stadium
- City is beautiful and you see (almost) all of it during the race
- Cheap to compete (¬21) and a nice running shirt and shorts for free

Small down sides:
- The expo was in a distant part of the town, not easy to get there
- All the communication is in Spanish (!)
- few people speak English, but they are very helpful

Certainly will do this one again!

"Loved the course but experience could be better." (about: 2013)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Sevilla (Seville) Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 4

The city and the course lived up to all expectations. Throw in perfect weather conditions and you could not find a better place to run in the Spring.
Out on the course, cyclists were an annoyance. I have no problem with them encouraging friends but not when they get in the way of competitors. This aspect needs to be tidied up.
It proved impossible to get transport, taxi or bus, back to my hotel after the marathon. I had no choice but to walk the whole way back to the city centre. Surely a bus could have been laid on or a taxi rank established near the stadium.
As regards picking up my bag after the race, they would need to have printed large numbers to stick on the bags that are easy for the volunteers to read. It took an eternity for bags to be identified.
All that said, I would highly recommend Seville and it was a great trip.
