The 21,0975 km long route takes the runners from the Arc de Triomf, by the old town, to the Plaça Catalunya. From there it goes down the famous Ramblas and along Avenida del Paral·lel. Then it goes through the modernist Eixample district back to the Arc de Triomf, the Parc de la Ciutadella, and further into the eastern part of the Eixample to the Torre Agbar, one of the most striking buildings in Barcelona. The route then takes runners along the Diagonal street, then goes on to the Fòrum and then back towards the center alongside the beach until the Parc de la Ciutadella and Arc de Triomf, which is the finishing line. This route marks out a very interesting and varied street circuit taking runners through some of the moste beautiful and emblematic parts of this great city.
