Sustainability

At the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich we are working to make our events increasingly sustainable and environmentally friendly because we believe that every action we take, no matter how small, can have a positive impact on the future.

We are working in different areas of the event to bring improvements where possible: waste, emissions, products, supply chain and training.

Waste collection and recycling

Eliminating plastic bags

In 2018, the plastic runner’s bags were replaced by reusable gymsacks. Similarly, in 2019, the plastic bags at the finish line (where the final refreshments are delivered) were also eliminated, saving around 100,000 bags between the two races in that first year alone.

Waste collection

In collaboration with Ecoembes, the ‘Run, Recycle and Breathe’ campaign will be launched during the races and different containers, yellow for cans, briks and plastic containers and blue for paper and cardboard containers, will be placed both at the ExpoDeporte and along the route.

At the Valencia Marathon 2024, which saw around 28,000 runners, a total of 13,6 tonnes of waste were recicled. Specifically, 9,160 kilos of plastic packaging and 4,440 kilos of cardboard. I

‘Bottle to bottle’ plastic bottles

In 2019, together with Coca-Cola and Ecoembes, an  initiative was launched that is a pioneer in Spain and worldwide related to recycling packaging and the circular economy: Bottle to Bottle. Thanks to this project, the nearly 11,000 kilos of plastic containers that were generated at the Valencia Marathon 2019 became the one million Aquabona bottles made with 25 percent recycled plastic used in the Valencia Elite Edition Marathon 2020.

Clothing collection

on the day of the race, La Casa Grande collect the warm clothes that the runners leave at the start.

In 2023, 2167 kilograms of solidarity clothing and sports equipment were collected and given to people in need, sold second-hand or recycled.

Valencia on the canvas

The canvas banners used during the event become new products thanks to Rincón de Velluters, an association dedicated to the social and workplace integration of people with mental health problems, which under the name ‘A la lona de Valencia’ transforms them into bags, backpacks, wallets and other objects for everyday use.

EMISSIONS

Urban transport agreements

The Valencia Marathon reaches agreements to promote the use of public transport among runners and citizens. 

In 2024, an agreement was reached with the Generalitat and Metrovalencia, which gave each runner a voucher with four journeys to spend over the weekend on journeys.

Hyundai ECO Vehicles

All the vehicles used during the race use Hyundai ECO technology. The lead car is a Hyundai KONA and a fleet of ECO vehicles consisting of the Hyundai SANTA FE hybrid and plug-in hybrid, TUCSON plug-in hybrid and the new KONA in its 100% electric version is used for the organiser’s journeys.

Yamaha Neo’s motorcycle

Some of the motorbikes used during the event by judges, media and the organisers are electric Yamaha NEOs, which, due to their reduced weight, the size of their tyres and their excellent manoeuvrability, allow the riders to move around in an agile, silent and efficient way.

RENFE agreement

All runners and their families have a minimum 10% discount on travel to Valencia during the days of the event on RENFE trains, promoting sustainable transport.

PRODUCTS

Trophies

The trophies for the Spanish winners are made from sustainable materials.

Gymsacks

Plastic bags have been replaced by reusable gymsacks (non-woven textile material).

Ponchos

In the marathon, the thermal blankets that cannot be recycled have been withdrawn and the option of purchasing reusable thermal ponchos has been introduced.

supply chain

  • Elimination of paper in runner and supplier communications
  • The official magazine is produced on PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified paper.

DISTINCTIONS

The Valencia Marathon has worked to receive the Green Sport Flag, the Spanish sports action plan for the environment, which applies an award system to sporting events that want to distinguish themselves for being kind and respectful of the environment and committed to the area in which they take place.

TRAINING

One hundred volunteers advise the runners on recycling and waste reduction during ExpoDeporte.

AIR QUALITY MEASUREMENT

EThe Valencia Marathon, in collaboration with the Valencia City Council’s Noise Pollution and Environmental Analysis Service, is working to share real-time information on the city’s air quality.

You can consult the real time information of the different measuring stations in the city, or the location of the control stations and the validated data here.

How does the +42KValencia app work?

The Valencia Marathon organisers have sent you an email with a personal and non-transferable code.

Download the +42KValencia app (available for iOS and Android), register and, when requested, enter the code we have sent you and you will be ready to receive your weekly training plans.

To register for your ‘Objective Valencia by Serrano’ training plan you should go to the TRAIN section on the app’s bottom menu. Once there we will ask you to provide us with your current personal best time (at 10k or 21k) to estimate your possible time in the marathon, from which we will suggest a specific training plan for you. Once you select it, after a few minutes, you can start enjoying your plan and doing the first sessions.

The training plan will begin on 16 August. Once this period begins, there will be 16 weeks of specific preparation designed by Serrano hand in hand with the coach José Garay in which we will prepare you to reach the best possible condition on the day of the race.

To edit any details or information on your profile, simply go to the MY RUNNER PROFILE section, available on the drop-down menu at the top left, scroll down and tap on the EDIT button. Once you have made the changes, tap on SAVE, and all the changes will be modified instantly.

If you have registered correctly on the +42KValencia app and you then see some type of error, you can go to the menu located in the upper left corner, tap on the FAQ section and you will see a button that says “Send message”. This will put you in contact with the technical service.

If you haven’t managed to register, you can send an email to contacto@runnea.academy, with the subject “Valencia Marathon” explaining the problem you have had and the email address you used to register for the marathon.

Yes, it’s very important. In the training sessions for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP we work individually so that each runner receives a training plan appropriate to their abilities. Which is why it is really important we know your fitness level and you keep it updated, since only then will we be able to achieve tailored monitoring and effective progression to ensure you reach your goal in the best shape.

To accurately track your route we need you to enable the GPS permission with the “ALWAYS ALLOW” option and also enable BACKGROUND ACTIVITY. You can trust us, we will only track you during your training. Go to the GPS section on the app’s bottom menu and follow the on-screen instructions. If it still doesn’t work properly, below we will explain how to configure these permissions from your operating system:

How to enable the permissions on Android: 

To enable the GPS permissions on your Android smartphone, you have to go to:

Settings > Applications > Runnea > Permissions > Location

Once in Location, select the option ALWAYS ALLOW.

  • To enable background activity, you have to go to:

Settings > Applications > Runnea > Permissions > Battery

Once in Battery, enable the option ALLOW BACKGROUND ACTIVITY.

Depending on the version of your Android operating system, permission management may be on a different path.

How to enable the permissions on an iPhone (iOS):

To enable the GPS permissions on your iPhone, you need to go to:

Settings > Valencia Marathon > Location

Once in Location, select the Always option and also enable the option EXACT LOCATION.

Don’t worry, if you don’t have a heart rate monitor, you will be equally welcome to the Valencia Marathon family. However, a heart rate monitor, while it’s not essential, is highly recommended since many of the exercises we will include in your plans, which are specifically created by José Garay and CA Serrano, will suggest running at a specific pace per kilometre or a specific heart rate.

If you don’t have a heart rate monitor or if the one you have can’t sync, you have two options.

  1. Sync your Strava account with our app

Upload the results manually through our app

If you have any questions about your ‘Objective Valencia by Serrano’ training plan, don’t hesitate to contact José Garay directly through his social media:

  • Twitter: @josegaray71
  • Instagram: @josegaraycebrian

Once you have completed a training session, you must give feedback on it so the plans are adjusted to your results.

To do this, you will need to access your plan through the TRAINING tab on the bottom menu on the screen and go to the specific session you have completed. Tapping on GIVE FEEDBACK will open a tab where you can send us your feelings either by completing a series of parameters manually or linking an activity from your heart rate monitor or device.

The Valencia Marathon challenges are free virtual challenges that will be opened for you to take part in throughout the training period prior to the Valencia Marathon. You can find them in the CHALLENGES tab on the lower menu on the app, and if you are a finisher in them you will be entered for a prize draw organised by our sponsors.

Very simply, you simply have to access the side menu on the app, which is displayed from the top left of the screen, and tap on the MY CHALLENGES section. From there you can tap on + NEW and set up your private challenge, inviting as many friends as you want.

In order to join a private challenge you have to receive an invitation from its creator. When your friend invites you to the challenge, a notification will appear at the top right of the screen. If you enter this tab and accept the invitation, you can start taking part in sessions to complete the challenge.

All the friends you wish will be able to participate in the private challenges. The only essential condition is that they are runners in the Valencia Marathon, that is, they are registered on the race app.

Regulations 42K 2021

41st VALENCIA MARATHON TRINIDAD ALFONSO EDP 2021

Contents

General information

Article 1: Organisers

S.D Correcaminos and the Valencia City Council Municipal Sports are organising the 41st Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP on Sunday 5 December 2021.

Covid-19 Restrictions

In accordance with the current regulations established by the Department of Health of the Generalitat Valenciana, no COVID passports or tests (PCR, antigen tests…) will be required by the Organiser to participate in the run.

The participants must comply with the health and safety measures established by the Organisation, thus complying with the current health regulations, which are:Medidas Sanitarias Maratón

The Organisation will prevent the participation of any athletes who do not comply with the measures established.

Additionally, if the Health Authorities modify the regulatory framework currently in force in terms of applicable health measures, the Organisation will inform all athletes so that they can be aware of and comply with the new requirements. If the participants are unable to prove compliance with the new requirements as per the modification of the regulations, they will not be able to participate in the run.

Exceptionally, if the Organisation receives notification from the Health Authorities of the prohibition to hold the run with the number or runners initially planned, the Organisation will determine a model of drawing to randomly choose the participants until the new maximum allowed is completed, giving the rest the opportunity to get back 100% of the amount paid for their registration. However, the Organisation reserves the right not to hold the event if the maximum allowed by the authorities is substantially reduced from the one initially planned or conditions are imposed that render its holding unfeasible.

All registered runners will be able to recover their money until 1st November 2021 by requesting it in our Runner’s Auto-Service web.

Notifications: All communications to the runner will be made through the email provided by the participant at the time of registration, or in the email subsequently modified through the procedure enabled by the Organization for this purpose, in the case that has decided to modify it.

Likewise, all athletes expressly undertake to follow the instructions and restrictions imposed on them in agreement with the health management of the event. At the time of registration, a statement must be signed indicating knowledge of Covid-19 and, in addition, the data intended to guarantee the traceability of the participant must be filled in.

Anyone who does not follow these rules or does not consent to undergo Covid-19 screening will not be authorised to participate in the race.

Article 2: Regulations

The 41st Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP is a 42,195-metre urban foot race that will be open to anyone who complies with the RFEA and IAAF rules, provided they are over 18 years old on the day of the race. The asphalted, urban circuit is certified by the AIMS/RFEA, and all the kilometre points are marked with a signpost. The race is included in the International Calendar of the RFEA and the AIMS, and has been awarded a Platinum Label by World Athletics.

Article 3: Start
The race will start at 8:15 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m., with the official maximum time to finish the race being 5h30:00, it is not possible, under any circumstances, to exceed this time limit.The Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP will start in four waves in order to improve the comfort and safety of all the runners, in the order of the accredited personal best times. Before the race, each participant will receive an email notifying them of their corresponding wave, which will also be indicated on their race bib.

  • Yellow bibs will start at 8.15 a.m.
  • Green bibs will start at 8.30 a.m.
  • Blue bibs  will start at 8.45 a.m.
  • Pink bibs will start at 9.00 a.m.

Wheelchair athletes, and blind athletes who so wish, will depart in the second wave (8:30 a.m.) from the carriageway on the Monteolivete Bridge closest to L’Hemisfèric.

The organisers reserve the right to establish further departure times, for reasons including safety, organisational need and/or logistics, among others. Under these circumstances, those concerned will be notified in sufficient time to ensure the proper organisation and preparation for the event.

The official maximum time limit for completing the race is 5h30:00. Any runner arriving at km 25 after 12:45 p.m. on 5 December 2021 must compulsorily hand in their bib, abandon the race and/or get into the sweeper vehicle as they will exceed the projected time limit set by the organisers for the end of the race (the aforementioned 5h30 hours, already including the delay due to the waves).

All runners who register with the aim of finishing the marathon under 3h31:00 must provide proof of their previous best time in a marathon, half marathon or 10K in the last three years either through the procedure available on the registration website, or at the request of the organisers at a later date. In addition, the organisers reserve the right to request accreditation for runners who say they plan to run a time under 3h46:00.

Times and Boxes

Article 4: Box

The only data the organisers will take into account when making the classifications for a category will be those provided by the runner themselves on their registration form.

There will be 4 different starts in Plaça de la Marató. These will be ordered solely and exclusively based on the number and colour of the race bib, in accordance with the start time indicated in Article 3.

Due to the exceptional circumstances, and for organisational or safety reasons, and always in agreement with the athlete, the organisers reserve the right to change the box of a runner and also to close the process for changing from one box to another. The change will only be made as long as the capacity of the box allows it.

In order to accredit the starting box, we will verify the data collected at the time of your registration. Some are automatically verified by checking them against the results from our previous races (Valencia Marathon, Valencia Half Marathon or Valencia 10K Trinidad Alfonso). In other cases, we will ask you for additional information with a URL or link to an approved race in which you have participated in the last three years with an equivalent time (previous ranking in approved 10K, half marathon or marathon).

Article 5: Changing start wave

Therefore, the athlete accepts that the starting box or starting wave selected at the time of registration will be the one that corresponds to them.

Registration and prices

Article 6: Registration

6.1 Maximum capacity and prices

The maximum capacity of 18,000 participants is already filled with the 2020 registrants who have decided to transfer their bibs to 2021.

However, in anticipation that the health requirements or participants freely dropping out and getting a refund will leave places available, a waiting list will be opened for new registrations at a single price of 120 euros*, subject to availability. 

(*) This price does not include the obligatory Day Licence (5 euros) for runners who do not have a valid national licence (RFEA), Valencian regional licence (FACV) or Carnet del Corredor Plus. Promotions offered by the event will be communicated to those interested and will not be cumulative.

In all cases, registration will close when the maximum capacity of 18.000 registered runners has been reached, thus guaranteeing a sustainable growth in the number of runners, a quality experience for the runners and the best possible safety conditions.

The organisers will set up a a waiting list  via the official website to fill any vacancies that may arise due to runners dropping out of the race.

6.2 Registration for persons with disabilities:

Any disabled athlete who can be included in any of the four adapted categories will enjoy a 50% discount on registration, taking into account the sections and dates mentioned above, provided they meet the Covid-19 prevention requirements described above, and if there are bibs available.

To compete in any of the four adapted categories (wheelchair, functional disability, sensory disability and intellectual disability), registration must be formalised with FESA (Valencian Community Adapted Sports Federation), whose contact email address is direccion-tecnica@fesa.es, and telephone +34 96 346 57 26. FESA provides its criteria, knowledge and experience to ensure the correct grouping into the different categories.

Athletes who, for whatever reason, do not register through FESA, will not be classified in any of the four disabilities categories, nor will they receive a discount.

Blind or visually impaired (B2) athletes who so require, will have the right to be accompanied by a guide whose registration will be 100% free of charge and will be solely handled through FESA. There can only be one guide for each athlete with visual impairment.

6.3 Registrations will be made through the website
https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ (As long as bibs are available).

The website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ managed by S.D. Correcaminos is the only official online distributor authorised to register runners for the race, so under no circumstances is it recommended to register or purchase race bibs through other platforms.

The organisers are not responsible for the reliability, veracity and/or suitability of registrations made through third parties, nor do they assume any obligation regarding the availability of places, stock and/or price.

No warranty, cancellation, exchange and/or any other rights granted to registrants are guaranteed if the products are not the official ones or have not been obtained from S.D. Correcaminos and/or the website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/.

The above is without prejudice to registrations made through official tour operators and included in travel packs, which in any case will redirect to the aforementioned website for the purpose of completing the registration directly on the authorised distribution platform.

Article 7: Changing title holder

7.1 Due to the exceptional circumstances, it will not be possible to change the bib holder for the 2021 event, in accordance with the organisation’s right to make modifications to this process, but runners will be able to request the cancellation and return of their bib until 1st November 2021, by making this request in our Runner’s Auto-Service web.

7.2 For legal and sports reasons, but above all for safety reasons, the race bib may not be transferred to another runner without following the process provided for this and without obtaining the agreement of the organisers.

In the event the organisers become aware of this circumstance prior to the race, the bib number that has been sold or transferred without authorisation will be disqualified, and the runner will not be able to take part in the race. In addition, and given the risk posed by runners who wear a bib without the knowledge of the organisers and the distortion produced in the rankings, the details of the person who gives or sells a bib will be recorded, their registration will be prevented for the following 4 years, and other marathon, half marathon and 10K organisers will be informed of their actions. In the case of athletes who are members of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA) and the Valencian Community Athletics Federation, their conduct will also be reported so that, if appropriate, the corresponding measures can be taken.

7.3 The organisers reserve the right to prevent registration in the future and to inform other races of the fate of those athletes disqualified for not having completed the full 42,195 metres of the course. Likewise, the organisers reserve the right to take legal action against those who fail to comply with the provisions laid down in this regulation.

Article 8: Registration cancelation due to injury and refunds

Exceptionally this year, and due to the restrictions due to Covid-19, you can request the refund of the registration fee due to injury without having to provide proof of injury through a medical certificate, this can be requested in in our Runner’s Auto-Service web. Until 1st November 2021,

2º/2ª1.000 €
3º/3ª750 €

These prizes will be paid whenever times less than 2h20:00 for men and 2h45:00 for women are achieved. Men who achieve a time between 2h20:00 and 2h35:00 and women who achieve a time between 2h45:00 and 2h55:00 will have a 50% reduction to their prize.

No prize will be paid to men who finish in a time over 2h35:00 and to women who finish in a time over 2h55:00. The prizes for the general classification, Spanish nationals and FACV licence classification are cumulative.

As the Marathon is included in the National and international RFEA Calendar, there will be mandatory anti-doping controls. Any runner who, having been designated to take a control test, refuses to do so, will be automatically disqualified from all the rankings and prizes to which they may be entitled and their decision will be formally reported to the competent bodies of the RFEA. Therefore, athletes who pass the test and are entitled to receive a financial prize will have to wait for the result of the test before receiving the prize.

All the financial prizes will be subject to the withholdings established by law, and will be paid by bank transfer or cheque, once the times have been officially recognised and the results of the relevant anti-doping controls carried out have been received by the RFEA.

All athletes, or failing that their World Athletics Manager, who accept a financial prize in the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP automatically accept this condition in order to guarantee equal opportunities, cleanliness and health in athletics.

Regardless of the registered addresses of the parties, any dispute that may arise will be resolved in accordance with Spanish law and with express submission to the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Valencia.

Notifications and other considerations

Article 14: Time control and rankings

The race is controlled by the Athletics Federation Judges Committee.

There will be time controls along the route. Only those participants who run the race with the chip provided by the organisers, placed on the back of the bib, will appear in the rankings. Runners are obliged to check their chip is working properly at the corresponding stand at the Runner’s Fair when picking up their bib.

Neither the organisers, nor the sponsors, nor the main partner will assume any responsibility in case of chip malfunction.

Article 15: Infractions and disqualifications

15.1 The bibs/chip issued by the organisers are personal and non-transferable, and must be placed on the chest without being manipulated or bent. The control chip is also personal and non-transferable. Failure to comply with this article will be grounds for disqualification.
Runners who are not registered or who run without a bib or without the official bib for the current edition of the race will not be admitted by the organisers, who will prevent them from having access to the race in defence of the rights of those who are legally registered.
Likewise, unauthorised vehicles will not be allowed access. For the safety of the runners, the race judges and the organisers reserve the right to disqualify any offender who, if any irregularity is detected for any runner; does not wear a visible bib, manipulates it and/or transfers it to another runner, alters the data provided to the organisers or to the Chief Referee with respect to what appears on their ID card or federation card, does not complete the entire course, or shows a poor physical condition, does not provide the organisers with the required documentation, fails to comply with any other rule included in the FACV, RFEA and IAAF regulations or, while registered for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso race, accesses the course and/or the finish line of the 41st Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso.
It will be compulsory for members to compete in their corresponding club’s kit, and they may be penalised if they do not.
Disqualified runners will not be eligible for prizes and trophies.
15.2  Given the serious consequences this could cause the organisers and the other runners in the race, in the event of access to the race infringing the established conditions of access or any irregularity being committed, the organisers reserve the right to take the appropriate measures, in accordance with the applicable legislation.. In this regard, appropriate civil, criminal or administrative action will be taken to hold the offender liable.
The irregularities that will give rise to the initiation of these actions include (i) not being registered for the race and therefore not having a bib/chip to participate in the race; (ii) running with the bib/chip of a third party (without having made the change of ownership or carrying it concealed); (iii) running with a bib/chip that does not correspond to that of the race; (iv) running with a falsified bib/chip (photocopied document or one that imitates the bib). This list is given by way of example and is not exhaustive, and there may be other irregularities that may give rise to legal action on the part of the organisers.
Both those who commit such irregularities and those who assist them in carrying them out will be identified as “offending runners”.
Any runners who are identified as “offending runners” by the organisers on the day of the race will be removed, identified and expelled by the race security personnel, in the exercise of their powers, in addition, identification details, photographs, etc. will be obtained from them, which will be used for the purpose of taking the appropriate legal action.
In the event the infringement becomes known after the event has taken place, appropriate action will be taken at the time the infringement becomes known.
The “offending runners” will receive notifications and/or summonses relating to the proceedings in which their possible liabilities will be judged, in order they can take part in the proceedings.

Article 16: Route

The route will be marked with a line and all kilometres will be signposted in accordance with World Athletics standards. There will be liquid refreshment stations at the kilometres 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 32, 35, 37.5 and 40, approximately, as well as one final liquid and solid station in the finishing line area.

Article 17: Medical Services

Medical services will be located along the route, as well as in the start and finish areas. All registered runners are obliged to fill in the back of the bib with their name, surname, telephone number in case of emergency, whether they have a medical problem (allergy, special care, etc.) or are under specific treatment, as well as their blood group.

Article 18

Article 19
