Course file

The course page links a Strava GPX. That download asked for a login on 4 November 2026, so we did not save a file. The PDF on the same page is named ZMB26.

Expo

Visitor area and bib pickup both say the location is coming soon. Their hours do not match each other, and the homepage FAQ prints February dates.

2026 results

Abel Chelangat 2:04:57. The same 20 March 2026 story prints Fotyen Tesfay at 2:10:51 and, in the women's list, 2:10:53. Those are 2026 times, not a 2027 record.

The only race pin

Course page map: 41.388646, 2.169358, labeled by the page as Paseo de Gracia. Start-line and finish-line map buttons are empty.

Organizers in the regulation are Institut Barcelona Esports, with executive organization by RPM Sports. The 1 November note says Barcelona City Council and RPM Sports.

Beds we actually checked

Mandarin Oriental, Passeig de Gràcia 38-40, 08007. Majestic Hotel and Spa, Paseo de Gracia 68-70, 08007. Hotel Casa Fuster, Paseo de Gracia 132, 08008.

Casa Fuster is well north of the organizer pin. Nothing on the course page says the marathon reaches number 132.
