“I’m so overwhelmed I can’t put it into words.”

At the Asunción International Marathon, the runner moved up the field despite a strong headwind and finished 5th overall. A time of 2 hours 44 minutes 51 seconds and the placing became an unforgettable achievement in an amateur running career.

Cut-off
Start line access is blocked after a 15-minute grace period following the start (effectively a late-start cutoff). Once the final time limit (6 hours) has elapsed, all course checkpoints are removed and roads reopened; a closure vehicle follows the rear of the field and collects runners who abandon.

it is served by the same city bus lines that run through central Asunción, using the identical Jaha/Más cashless card.

Many visitors instead reach it by taxi or rideshare rather than bus.
