Parking in Valencia on marathon day takes a plan
- On Sunday morning the course closes city streets: the exact closures are published by the City Council on the Wednesday before
- You need the car (or transport) twice: to collect your bib at Feria Valencia and to get to the start on Sunday
- After the race, getting back to the car and out of the city on tired legs takes a while
- Every car with one person in it is one more space to find in a city full of runners and supporters
