Runners pass four liquid refreshment stations and one solid food station, and the event allows a maximum time of 2 hours 30 minutes to complete the distance. The day finishes with sandwiches and food at the finish, a diploma for every finisher, trophies for the winners and a prize draw among participants.

Other questions
The route is almost completely flat, with only four metres of climbing and a maximum altitude of one metre, and most of it is on asphalt. That makes it a comfortable choice for a first half marathon, as long as you are ready for the 2 hour 30 minute limit.
January is the coolest month on the Costa Brava, with daytime temperatures typically between 10 and 15 °C and a chance of rain and wind off the sea. Layers and a light windproof jacket are worth packing.
Yes. A bag drop service is listed among the services offered by the race.
No. The listing records the distance as not homologated, meaning the course does not hold certification from the athletics federation. Your time counts as a race result rather than an official record performance.
The listing does not publish dedicated viewing points for spectators, but the start and finish areas in Roses are the natural places for friends and family to gather.
