Mark Brown, who was competing for Gibraltar, lost his left arm in a traffic accident in 1981.

The race started and finished in front of the main building of the University of Debrecen (pictured left) on the northern edge of the city, and travelled in a clockwise direction around nearby parkland.

The runners started on Egyetem Square, outside the university, before heading around the circular Nagyerdei Avenue.

Most of the course followed Nagyerdei Avenue, with two detours onto the roads inside the circle, passing the thermal baths and the Aquaticum Thermal & Wellness Hotel, before rounding the boating lake, passing the Nagyerdõ Stadium and the Hunguest Nagyerdõ Hotel.

The race then headed back to Egyetem Square to complete the lap.
