In line with the Madrid 2016 bid to be the "Happy Green Games", the theme for the marathon this year was environmentally friendly practice.
Runners, spectators and organizers received information on how to be "green" prior to the marathon. Environmental studies of the route were carried out and organizers ensured environmentally friendly cleaning and maintenance of the circuit, shows and WCs.
