The course was born with the idea of connecting the biggest green areas of the city of Santo Domingo which happens to be as well the most frequently used parks and roads by runners and cyclists. It starts and ends in front of the iconic Blue Mall, in the modern district of the city and while passing through or in front of very well-known parks, it leads you to discover modern buildings, the Colonial City in front of the Caribbean Sea, and several historic monuments like the First Cathedral of the Americas or the Fortaleza Ozama, a riverside fort 500 years old. Following the Malecón, the south seafront boulevard—officially called George Washington Boulevard, which is full of luxury hotels, monuments and parks, you will be heading west and, almost at the end of the course, you will find the famous Mirador Sur Park that, with a stretch of 5km, is often used for road racing and daily by thousands of runners.
In synthesis, all of these parks and roads are used for running but not all at once and connecting them all give us a nice 50K road ultra.
