Our second international race trip of the season takes us to Tehran for a spring half marathon. The course rolls gently through the northern part of the city with views toward the Alborz mountains, and the timing lines up with mild Nowruz-season weather.

What to expect

This is a three-day trip. We land on Friday, run an easy shakeout along the park loop, race on Saturday morning, and finish the weekend with a long brunch and a group walk through the bazaar district.

• Distance: 21.1K, with a 10K option for newer runners
• Travel: group flights and shared hotel block arranged by YRC
• On course: two aid stations plus our own bottle table at 12K
