RACE WEEK

The 10km I'll run

Know the course and time limit, and race day comes into focus.

START

Av. Circunvalación Agustín Yáñez, entre la Glorieta Minerva y la calle Aurelio Aceves, en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México

Start · Google Maps

FINISH

Glorieta Minerva

Finish · Google Maps

The course starts and finishes at the corner of Avenida Chapultepec and Calle José Guadalupe Montenegro, a central Guadalajara intersection.

From there, the route passes Glorieta de los Niños Héroes and follows the avenue of the same name before continuing onto Avenida Circunvalación Agustín Yáñez.

The course heads toward Glorieta Minerva, the traffic circle anchored by the city's best-known statue and one of Guadalajara's most recognizable landmarks,

then passes Los Arcos del Milenio on the return to the finish.

Rather than following one straight boulevard, the loop moves through several of the city's major roundabouts, giving the course a series of distinct sections.

Road closures begin early on race morning and are lifted gradually as runners clear each section.

The course is typically fully reopened by midday.

Held in late August, the race coincides with Mexico's National Firefighters' Day on August 22.

COMUDE, the municipal sports body, organizes the event, which carries World Athletics Label certification.

Participant benefits

Not yet confirmed in the official race guide

To the start line,
step by step.

Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.

Stations & transport near the venue

Buy a rechargeable Tarjeta Mi Movilidad — it works across the light rail (Tren Ligero), Mi Macro BRT, and city buses, and is the standard way locals and visitors pay.

Getting to the start

Mi Tren (light rail): Estación Juárez (Líneas 1 y 2) or Juárez 2 (Línea 3); nearest bus stop 'Aurelio Aceves' essentially at the start line

Start/finish on Av.

Circunvalación Agustín Yáñez, between Glorieta Minerva and Calle Aurelio Aceves.

No dedicated participant transit/shuttle plan published — use general Guadalajara transit (Mi Tren or Macrobús C104/C108/C110/C123 serving Glorieta Minerva).

Getting to the finish

same location — Av. Circunvalación Agustín Yáñez/Glorieta Minerva

Start/finish co-located;

expect road closures around the Minerva roundabout race morning.

More details

No organiser shuttle found;

organizers directed inquiries to their contact line/email (10kbomberos@guadalajara.gob.mx) rather than publishing transit logistics.

IC card

Tarjeta Mi Movilidad

VRT (sale/recharge) machines at the entrance of any Tren Ligero (Lines 1, 2, 3) station, Mi Macro Calzada stations, and some SITREN stops.

Not accepted at the gates — get the local card above

More details

The card itself costs 30 pesos plus whatever balance you load;

fares are about 11 pesos per trip.

Registering the card with your ID/CURP at a SITEUR module lets you recover your balance if it's lost or stolen.

Sources disagree on whether foreign contactless bank cards can be tapped directly at validators, so don't rely on it;

get the physical card to be safe.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Race morning has historically started early, around 6:00 a.m., which matters more than usual in Guadalajara's late-August climate.

The month's average high sits near 27°C (81°F) with lows around 16°C (61°F), and August falls within the city's wet season —

the region's heaviest monthly rainfall arrives in July, but August still carries a meaningful chance of rain,

so an early start helps clear most of the distance before the day's heat and any afternoon showers build.

The course's defining feature is its string of glorietas — traffic circles that double as the city's major landmarks.

Glorieta de los Niños Héroes and Glorieta Minerva both sit directly on route, meaning runners pass through open,

exposed intersections rather than shaded, narrow streets for a meaningful share of the 10 kilometers.

Kit and bib pickup for this race has historically been organized in the days immediately before the event, separate from any race-morning collection —

worth checking the specific dates each year rather than assuming same-day pickup is available.

Because the race is built around honoring Guadalajara's firefighters and Civil Protection personnel,

categories exist specifically for active-duty risk-management,

civil protection, and fire department staff, alongside the open field that makes up the bulk of the roughly 10,000-runner turnout.

Times are local to Guadalajara. Check the latest official information before the race.
