Paella Party

There are many ways to discover Valencia and one of them is through the city’s cuisine. The idea of a pasta party has been adapted to reflect local tastes with a dish that is just as healthy: The Paella Party La Fallera.

The Paella Party will be held on Saturday 6th December near to the Expo 42K Feria Valencia entry (in the Runners’ Expo).

Once at the Paella Party La Fallera, participants will be able to pick up their picnic consisting of a plate of paella, as well as a drink, bread and fruit, to enjoy, if they wish, at the tables in the entry area.

In order to participate in La Paella Party La Fallera it is necessary to purchase a ticket previously through our website. The price is €6 for registered runners (or companions).

Paddle Surf

Who hasn’t wished they could “walk” on water beyond the limits of cliffs and beaches? Who doesn’t dream of discovering a thousand hidden places on the coast? Discovering rivers and lakes from a different point of view?

All of this is possible with “Stand Up Paddle Surfing” or SUP, which is a water sport consisting of standing on a board while using a paddle to move around. Runners could participate in both races and Yoga sessions on the boards, and also practicde rotation techniques and many other activities related to this wonderful sport.
