Cut off time
The cut off time for the Barcelona Marathon is 6 hours. It would take the average person between 7 and 9 hours to walk a Marathon distance, giving you time for walk breaks during the race. The Barcelona Marathon organisers are quite strict about this 6 hour cut off time and if you exceed this time it is possible you may not be able to finish or receive a medal. A marathon is a significant challenge and it is advised that you should be comfortable with running long distances before signing up.
