Buy a Lima Pass card (about S/4.50) at any Metropolitano station and load cash onto it — foreign contactless bank cards don't work directly at the turnstiles, you need the local card.
Getting to the start
Parque Kennedy, Miraflores (Av. José Larco 400) — Lima Metro Línea 1 Angamos station (~18 min walk), Metropolitano BRT Ricardo Palma station, or local bus 'Parque Kennedy/Berlín' stop (~3 min walk)
10K start 5:00am (per 2025 edition).
Same organizer (Lima42K/Peru Runners) also runs the marathon/half under the separate DB entry maratnlifelima42k — same start area but different finish point.

More details
Lima Pass is a contactless smart card (tap on the turnstile reader) but it must be purchased and loaded with cash/balance first —
it isn't an open-loop system that reads foreign bank cards.
Authorities are rolling out an interoperable card (TIT) in 2026 to unify Metropolitano, Metro de Lima and corridor buses, but this is still card-based.
