The route will pass through the Jardines Mediterráneos de La Hoya, calle de la Reina, Plaza de la Catedral and Paseo de Almería, and the organisation is working to add new locations to the course. The Paseo Marítimo Carmen de Burgos remains within a route with which the event will begin the process for its certification by the Real Federación Española de Atletismo.

On Sunday, April 18, the Half Marathon (21K) and the Healthy Race will be held, which in 2027 grows to 11 kilometres.
