Charity
The Pequeño Deseo Foundation has been chosen by the Organising Committee as the charity of the 45th edition of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich.
Since 2000, the Pequeño Deseo Foundation has been improving the state of mind of children with serious illnesses by fulfilling their greatest wish in order to help them face their treatment with more strength.
It has been scientifically proven that the fulfilment of a wish generates many positive emotions and, in turn, has a great effect on the well-being of the children and on the way they cope with the illness.
In addition to the runners in their registration process, all those people, registered or not in the Valencia Marathon, who wish to collaborate with this year’s charity and cause can do so by clicking on the following button:
The charity donations given by runners when registering for the Valencia Marathon, as well as the contribution from the Z Zurich Foundation through its charity campaign ‘1 euro per finisher’, will be donated to the charity chosen by the Marathon Committee each year, to which other actions will be added.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that there are many ways in which support is being offered to charities. These are just some of the different activities through which the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso is partnering with its charity organisation:
Mini Valencia Marathon MSC
This parallel activity has been enjoyed by the youngest children since 2014 and promotes athletics from the earliest ages. The Mini Marathon is a further example of the social involvement of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso. In addition to being an activity aimed at the youngest members of families, registration for the race involves a donation of €3 to the official charity.
Charity donation
The Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich offers all its runners the option of donating an extra amount of money that will go entirely to that year’s charity.
And if you are not going to run, you can still participate by making a charity donation through this direct link.
