Start Corrals, Wave Starts and Pacers at ZMS 2027

The Zurich Seville Marathon 2027 plans to organize the start in several waves in order to improve the comfort and safety of all runners, according to the order of qualifying times. Every participant will receive an email sufficiently in advance informing them of their assigned wave, which will also be indicated on the race bib.

• The start times for each wave, as well as the corral assignments for each start, will be announced soon.
• Wheelchair athletes will start in advance in the first wave.

PACERS AND START CORRALS

There will be start corrals for World Elite, Sub Elite, sub 2:45 h, sub 3 h, sub 3:15 h, sub 3:30 h, sub 3:45 h, sub 4 h and over 4 h times. There will also be pacers for sub 2:45 h, sub 3 h, sub 3:15 h, sub 3:30 h, sub 3:45 h, sub 4 h, sub 4:30 h and sub 5 h times.
