Buy a Tarjeta Multi (€2.50, contactless reusable card) at any metro station and load it with a Tourist Travel Pass for unlimited travel — or, since June 2026, you can skip the card entirely and just tap your own contactless bank card or phone directly at metro gates.
Getting to the start
Metro Santiago Bernabéu (L10) or Concha Espina (L9); also Nuevos Ministerios (Cercanías C1/C2/C3/C4/C4A/C4B/C7/C10 + Metro)
Start is on Avenida/Calle Concha Espina at Plaza Sagrados Corazones, near the Santiago Bernabéu stadium area;
these stations are within walking distance of the start.
Getting to the finish
Metro Portazgo (Línea 1)
International/elite race finishes inside Estadio de Vallecas;
the popular race finishes nearby on Calle Candilejas.
Portazgo is the closest and busiest station for finish-area crowds;
Buenos Aires, Nueva Numancia or Puente de Vallecas (also L1) are quieter alternatives.
More details
No dedicated organizer shuttle bus found;
the city reinforces regular metro and bus service on race day and recommends public transport.

Zone T (whole region incl.
day-trip towns): €15.40 (1-day) up to €62.80 (7-day) —
Worth it if you're taking 4+ trips a day or staying several days — Zone T only if you plan day trips outside the city.
More details
Madrid Metro rolled out direct contactless bank card/Apple Pay/Google Pay tap payment across all ~303 stations as of June 2026, so for short visits you likely don't need a physical card at all.
The Tarjeta Multi is still the better option if you want a multi-day unlimited pass, since those Tourist Travel Passes are only issued on that card.
