Madrid

Madrid's running is dominated by flat urban circuits and parks—the Casa de Campo and Retiro Park routes are the city staples, with the marathon course running mostly through the southern suburbs at 600m elevation. Cyclists have it better: the Vuelta Ciclista Comunidad de Madrid brings riders through the Sierra de Guadarrama and Toledo hills within reach, and the Circuito MTB 7 Estrellas routes pinpoint the rocky, scrub-covered terrain northeast of the city that defines Madrid's local off-road scene.
