Course map
There is no map since we will finalize the course a couple of days in advance. The course will be one large loop for the marathon, which is challenging and 98% on trails. There are some gentle hills but no mountains of any sort. It is a nice course and you will find temps very comfortable at the start

Luggage
Due to the internal flights the baggage weight is 20 kilos (44lbs), plus one typical carry-on and a small personal bag/camera case. Air Madagascar will charge you extra fees if you are over the weight limit, plus this holds up the line significantly. Please pack accordingly.
