FAQ Valencia Marathon Waiting List
The Waiting List for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich is for those who still want to compete in the race even though entries have closed. The Waiting List gives them another chance to get a race bib (Price €200). This is because places will become available if and when entered runners drop out before the race, whether because of injury or for other reasons.
Anyone who does not yet have an entry but still wants to run in the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurichg 2025 can put their name on the Waiting List using the following link. Once you are on the Waiting List, you will receive an e-mail so that you can check where you stand in the queue.
Note: Depending on your e-mail server, our confirmation may end up in your Spam folder so make sure that you check it.
We recommend you add the email address to your contacts list: inscripciones@valenciaciudaddelrunning.com
You will need your DNI (Spanish National ID) or Passport number, date of birth, e-mail address, and your full name.
These data cannot be changed later. This is to avoid runners putting the details of various runners on the Waiting List.
No but when you make a request to put your name on the Waiting List, €5 will be provisionally charged to your credit card for 7 days.
Once this period has expired, the charge will automatically be cancelled. This means that you will end up paying nothing for your entry on the Waiting List. If you enter for the race before the 7 days are up, you will pay the full entry fee (€200) given that cancellation of the provisional charge occurs at the end of the 7-day period.
The person on the Waiting List must be the one running in the race if he/she gets a race bib. The details cannot be changed after putting one’s name down. This rule is to stop a runner using the details of various people to secure more than one place on the Waiting List.
Once you have been put on the Waiting List, you will get a confirmatory e-mail telling you where you stand on the list. Entries on the Waiting List strictly follow the order in which requests are received.
As race bibs become free as a result of entered runners dropping out, the system will assign their bibs to those on the Waiting List in strict chronological order. When your turn comes round, you will receive an e-mail. You will then have 48 hours from the time of the e-mail to make your entry.
Yes — when your turn comes round, we will send you an e-mail with instructions for entering the race. You have 48 hours from the time of the e-mail to do so.
The e-mail confirming that you have been put on the Waiting List contains a link that lets you check where you stand on the list at any given moment.
Once you have received an e-mail telling you that a race bib is available, you must confirm your entry within 48 hours otherwise the bib will be offered to the next person on the Waiting List.
FAQs – Manage your entry
The Organisers of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP make a Self-Service Area available to all runners entered for the race. Runners can perform various entry management tasks in this area and request the services offered for the trial, all of which are spelt out in the regulations for the two races.
By making this request, the runner can quickly and efficiently check the details of his entry whenever needed.
If you want to change some of the details of your entry (telephone number, e-mail address, bib text, and so on), you can do so here.
The Organisers will allow bib name changes up until the 1st of November 2020 in the case of the Marathon. This date may be extended should the Organisers deem this necessary.
An entered runner may request a change of entry holder. He will then receive a code for a new entry. The code should be given to the new runner who must then complete his entry (in keeping with the price in force for the tranche of entries, plus a €5 management fee). Once this has been paid, the first runner will receive a full refund and will be struck from the race.

Note: If the new runner does not complete the entry within three days, the code will be cancelled and the first entry will remain valid. The process for changing the runner‘s name may be repeated.
If an entered runner is injured before the race, he may request a refund of his subscription before the 1st of November for the Marathon. A medical certificate (NOT a physiotherapist’s certificate) must be attached for the Organisers’ consideration. Once the certificate has been validated and accepted, the runner will receive a full refund of his entry within 3 days. This option cannot be reversed and the runner will not be allowed to repeat the entry.
All participants can contract refund insurance if they so wish during the registration process. This insurance policy will allow them to recover 80% of the entry costs without having to give any justification for doing so as long as the claim is made before the 1st of November for the Marathon. The only sum not refundable is the RFEA Day Licence.
If you have improved your time in a 10km, Half-Marathon, or Marathon race that is officially certified, you can request a change of Starting Box for a faster one. This option will be free up until the 1st of November. From this date on, such a change will carry a fee of €15 to cover ‘Bib Reprinting and Administrative Costs’.
If you cannot go to The Runners’ Fair to pick up your bib and Runner’s Bag, you can authorise someone to do so for you. This option is free and you can request it simply by sending us an e-mail and a copy of the DNI/Passport of the person who will be picking up the bib and bag on your behalf. You can make such a request up until 3 P.M. of the Saturday before the race.
Note: No paper needs to be taken to the Fair.
