The Zurich Maraton de Sevilla is one of Europe's fastest and most popular Boston Qualifier courses. The pancake-flat riverside route along the Guadalquivir River features only 10 meters of difference between the lowest and highest points, making it a dream course for personal bests. Mild February weather, enthusiastic Andalusian crowds, and a stunning route through the historic city center keep runners coming back.
