Booking tips for a race abroad

Arrive at least a day early to collect your race number at the expo, which usually closes the day before. The long-weekend links cover Friday to Monday so you can travel home after the race. Where an organiser hasn't published the start yet, we measure hotel distances from the city centre and say so on the race page.
