Training and preparation
The Mexico City Half Marathon presents its own set of challenges, notably the city’s high altitude. At approximately 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level, Mexico City’s thinner air can pose difficulties for runners unaccustomed to such elevations. Training for the race often involves acclimatizing to the altitude, focusing on endurance, and incorporating hill workouts to build strength and stamina.
Runners are advised to arrive in Mexico City a few days before the race to adjust to the altitude. Hydration and nutrition are critical components of preparation, as the combination of high altitude and potential heat can quickly lead to dehydration.
