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.

Regulations 2019

39th VALENCIA-TRINIDAD ALFONSO EDP MARATHON 2019

Index

General information

Article 1: Organizers

La S.D. Correcaminos y la Fundación Deportiva Municipal of Valencia City Council are organising the 39th Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso EDP Marathon on Sunday the 1st of December 2019.

Article 2 : Regulations

The 39th Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso EDP Marathon, a 42,495-metre road race will be open to everyone, whether they belong to the Federation or not. The race is also open to foreign athletes who meet the RFEA and IAAF regulations, providing competitors are 18 years old or over on the day of the trial. The urban circuit is a tarmac one and is certified by AIMS/RFEA, and all of the kilometre markings are shown on display panels. The trial is featured in the RFEA and AIMS International Calendar and has been awarded the IAAF Gold Label.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This trial forms part of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation’s (RFEA) Official Calendar. By entering for the trial, the runner expressly consents to his/her data being ceded to this entity, the trial’s organisers, and Fundación Trinidad Alfonso (FTA) for the purposes of contracting Accident and Third Party insurance policies, as well as applying for a Day Licence and trial rankings. In any event, as provided for by Spain’s Data Protection Act, the applicant may exercise his/her rights of access, rectification, cancellation or opposition to the data held on him/her by writing a letter or sending an e-mail to the RFEA at: Real Federación Española de Atletismo. Avenida de Valladolid nº81 – 28.008 Madrid (Spain). E-mail: rfea@rfea.es and/or to Trinidad Alfonso Mocholí, Fundación CV (FTA) C/Poeta Quintana 1 bajo, (46003) Valencia (Spain), mail: info@fundaciontrinidadalfonso.org

Article 3: Start

The race will start at 8:30 A.M. and runners will be allocated Start Boxes in accordance with their forecast race times. The start of the Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso EDP Marathon is planned to feature four or more waves in order to maximise the convenience and safety of all runners.

At 8:30 A.M., all runners with accredited times up to 3 hours 30:59 will start in accordance with the order set out on the entry forms.
At 8:40 A.M., all runners with entry times between 3 hours 31:00 and 3 hours 45:59 will start.
At 8:50 A.M., all runners with entry times between 3 hours 46:00 and 4 hours 00:59 will start.
At 9:00 A.M., all runners with entry times of 4 hours 01:00 and over will start.

The decision to have three waves of runners will not affect the proper timing of all athletes, no matter which wave they leave in. The Organisers reserve the right to establish additional waves as they deem fit for security, organisational, logistical or other reasons. Runners will be given sufficient notice of any such changes.

The official maximum time for completion of the race is 5 hours 30:00. All runners who reach the Kilometre 25 mark after 12:30 P.M. on the 1st of December 2019 must hand in their race bibs, abandon the race and/or board the Sweeper Bus because their forecast time exceeds the limit for the trial set by the Organisers (the aforementioned 5 hours 30 minutes, discounting staggering in the four waves).

All runners who enter the marathon with the aim of finishing the race in under 3 hours 31:00 must accredit their best time in a marathon, half-marathon, or 10-kilometre race in the last three years, doing so through the entry web site, or as the Organisers may subsequently request. The Organisers reserve the right to require accreditation from those runners who envisage completing the marathon in under 3 hours 46:00.

Times and Boxes

Article 4: Boxes

There will be 9 Start Boxes. These boxes will be arranged as follows:

Yellow Bib: under 2 hours 25 (elite Men) and under 2 hours 48 (elite Women)
Green Bib: under 2 hours 38
Blue Bib: under 2 hours 50
Pink Bib: under 3 hours
Orange Bib: under 3 hours 15
Purple Bib: under 3 hours 31
Brown Bib: under 3 hours 46
Grey Bib: under 4 hours 01
White Bib: 4 hours 01 or over

For organisational and safety reasons and with the runner’s consent, the Organisers reserve the right to exceptionally change a runner’s box and/or to close box changes. Box changes will only be made when the box capacity so permits.

When deciding which Start Box to assign you to, we check the information provided when you enter for the trial. Some of the details are automatically checked by looking up your results in earlier editions of our trials (Valencia Marathon, Valencia Half-Marathon, and 10-kilometre Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Race). In other cases, we ask you for further information through a URL or link to an accredited race in which you have chalked up a similar time (for instance, earlier classification in the 10-kilometre Race, the Half-Marathon, or the Marathon in the previous three years).

Article 5: Change of Box

5.1 The change will be made providing the box capacity so permits.

As a rule, we assign the box you request in your entry or in accordance with the time you accredited.

If you need to change box after the initial registration accreditation process — whether because the time you submitted was wrong or does not reflect your best time — you can do so for a modest fee of €5 (levied for “Bib re-printing and management costs”.

5.2 If your time has improved since you entered for the trial, you can request a change of box free of charge. Note that you will need to provide a URL that accredits a faster time that you ran after making your entry.

Requests for a change of box can be made online up until 1/11/2019 through our web site at “Request change of Box”

5.3 If you have a time accredited for a faster box, you do not have to make any change given that you can start the race in a slower box, which you can access on the day of the trial. For example, if you are accredited for the PINK BOX, you can leave from the ORANGE BOX, the PURPLE BOX, or the WHITE BOX, as you wish, accessing any of these on the day of the race.

5.4 In general, from 2/11/2019 onwards, you can only make changes, whatever the reason may be. In this case, a fee of €15 will be levied for “Bib re-printing and management costs”.

WARNING: No BOX changes will be made from the 24th of November onwards (whether through the online service or at The Runners‘ Fair).

In any event, entries will be closed when the ceiling for runner numbers has been reached. This is to ensure sustainable growth in the size of the event and to ensure both quality and safety criteria are met.

The organisers will notify runners when the last 1,000 race bibs are put on sale.

The only details that the Organisers will take into account in the classifications in whatever category will be those provided by each runner on his or her entry form.

Runners entering before 30/06 are guaranteed their chosen shirt size. From 30/06 onwards, the choice of shirt sizes will depend on what is left in stock. The stock and information on sizes will be provided on entry. Use the following link for information on sizes

6.2 Club entries

To be eligible in the team category, in addition to each runner filling in his or her entry form, a team entry form must also be filled out — see HERE , listing the runners making up the team and the team’s club manager. The team form must be submitted before the 30th of October 2019.

6.3 Entries by handicapped runners:

All handicapped runners falling within one of the 4 special categories will be given a 50% discount on the entry price, bearing in mind the dates and prices given above

To compete in one of the four special categories (wheelchair, functionally handicapped, sensorially handicapped, mentally handicapped), the entry must be made through FESA (Federación de Deportes Adaptados de la Comunidad Valenciana) [Valencia Federation for Special Sports Categories], whose contact e-mail is: direccion-tecnica@fesa.es, and whose telephone number is (+34) 963 465 726. FESA has the expertise, knowledge and experience to ensure handicapped sportsmen and sportswomen are placed in the right categories.

All athletes who, for any reason, cannot make their entries through FESA, will not be classified in any of the four special categories for handicapped participants and will not be eligible for a discount

Each blind or visually impaired athlete (B2) who so requires shall be entitled to be accompanied by a guide whose entry will be completely free. Such entry may only be made through FESA. Only one guide can be allocated to each blind or visually impaired athlete.

6.4 Entries are made through the official web site https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ (Providing there are still running bibs available).

The web site https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ managed by S.D. Correcaminos (running club) — SDC — is the sole official online distributor authorised to make entries for the trial. We therefore strongly urge you not to attempt to enter for the trial and/or acquire running bibs on web sites other than the official one.

The organisers shall not be liable for entries made through Third Parties. SDC thus makes no warranties as to the reliability, veracity, or suitability of entries made through Third Parties and has no obligations to furnish information on the availability of entries, stocks, and/or prices in this connection.

No rights are recognised in connection with guarantees, cancellations, and changes covered in these Terms and Conditions should the entries be unofficial and/or not have been obtained through SDC and/or this web platform https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/.

The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to the entries made through official tour operators and that are included in package holidays. In any event, such tour operators will redirect users to this, the web site of the authorised distributor, to make the entries.

Article 7: Changing the runner’s name

The option of changing the runner’s name or bib/chip through our entry web site can be found in the section titled “Request change of runner”.Terms:

The deadline for making such requests is the 1st of November 2019,
Once the runner has requested the change of name, there is a period of 3 days to complete the new entry.
Fee: €5, which will be paid by the new runner.

The Organisers reserve the right to modify the method for making runner changes.

For legal and sport reasons, especially those concerning security, runners are strictly forbidden to sell/lend/give their bibs to other runners unless they first obtain written permission to do so from the Organisers.

Should the Organisers learn of such infractions before the race, they will cancel the race bib involved, rendering it invalid for the competition. Unknown persons taking part in the race both threaten safety and distort the classifications. Accordingly, the Organisers will note the details of anyone making their bibs available to others and ban them from entering trials in the following 4 years. The Organisers will also inform bodies holding other marathons, half-marathons, and 10-kilometre races of the irregularities committed. In the case of athletes who are members of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA) and the Valencian Athletics Federation (FACV), these bodies will also be informed of said infractions so that appropriate measures can be taken.

The Organisers reserve the right to: (1) prevent the future entry of those athletes who are disqualified because they failed to fully complete the 42,195 metres of the course; (2) take legal action against those infringing the regulations set out in this document.

Article 8: Injury

A refund of the entry fee can be requested in the event of injury. Medical certification is required in such cases. The request can be made on our entry web site under the section “Request withdrawal due to injury”.

Terms:

The entry fee will be refunded in full in the event of injury or illness providing the runner submits a medical certificate with the corresponding diagnosis.
The deadline for making an application for a refund and submitting the requisite medical certificate is the 1st of November 2019, after which no application will be accepted.
The refund will be made through the same payment method used to make the entry (payment by debit/credit card or bank transfer) as soon as the medical documentation has been verified.

Runners can take out a Comprehensive Refund Insurance Policy which guarantees an 80% refund of the entry fee and any contracted extras. In this case, no medical certificate is required to obtain a refund.

Article 9

9.1 Our web site incorporates checks to avoid mistakes such as duplicate entries for a given race. In the event of duplicate entries, the earlier entry will be cancelled and a refund made. A fee of €5 will be applied to cover the costs entailed in managing duplicate entries.

9.2 The refund of an entry made with the ‘Regala’ (‘give a present’) product will be made electronically in a Running Card (+ info), which the runner can use in whole or in part for future entries and/or the services provided by future editions of the Valencia Half-Marathon, the Valencia Marathon and/or the 10-kilometre Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Race.

Article 10: Bibs and chips

Bibs and chips will only be handed out at THE RUNNERS’ FAIR, which will be sited at the Science Museum (Museo Príncipe Felipe) in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences. The Fair will run throughout the day from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. on Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th of November 2019.

Article 14: Time controls

The race will be supervised by the FACV Panel of Judges. There will be time controls throughout the race. Only runners wearing the chip on the back of their bibs will be listed in the classification. Runners will be required to run a short distance at the Runners’ Fair stand to check that the chip works properly.

Article 15. Infringements and disqualifications

15.1 Runners who are not entered for the race or who are not wearing the official bib and chip will be denied access. This measure is to uphold the rights of those runners who comply with the regulations. Unauthorised vehicles will be forbidden access to the circuit in the interests of runners’ safety. The Trial Judges and the Organisers reserve the right to disqualify any runner if they deem fit. Reasons for disqualification include: (1) not wearing one’s bib in a clearly visible manner; (2) altering the bib and/or lending/giving it to another person; (3) changing the details given to the Organisers and/or Arbitrating Judge concerning the runner’s National Identity Document/Passport and/or Federation status; (4) not running the whole race; (5) being in poor physical shape; (6) not providing the requisite documentation; (7) failure to meet any other FACV, RFEA, or IAAF norms and regulations.

IAAF Federation members are required to compete in the running strips of their clubs and may be penalised if they fail to do so.

Disqualified runners shall not be eligible for prizes and trophies.

15.2 Given the serious prejudice to both the race organisation and runners caused by those infringing the trial regulations or other rules, the Organisers reserve the right to take any measures permitted by Law that they deem fit. Accordingly, civil, penal, or administrative action may be taken against infractors.

Infractions that may give rise to such action include: (i) not being entered for the trial and thus not possessing a running bib/chip for the race; (ii) competing with someone else’s running bib/chip (without having officially changed the name or hiding the name); (iii) competing with a running bib/chip other than that officially approved for the trial; (iv) competing with a fake running bib/chip (photocopied document or that imitates the bib). These are illustrative examples only and are not exhaustive. The Organisers may take legal action against infractors for other violations.

Both infractors and those collaborating in facilitating violations shall be identified as ‘delinquent runners’.

Those identified as ‘delinquent runners’ by the Organisers on the day of the race shall be detained, identified, and expelled by the trial security staff in the exercise of their powers. Those detained shall be identified, photographed, etc. with a view to taking legal action against them as may be deemed appropriate.

Should the infraction become known after the trial, appropriate measures shall be taken by the Organisers when they become aware of the facts.

’Delinquent runners’ shall be notified of hearings to ascertain their liability and so that they can make their case.

Article 16. Course

The circuit will be marked with a line and there will be kilometre markings in accordance with IAAF regulations. Liquid refreshment points will be sited at roughly kilometres 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 37.5, and 40, and there will be a point serving both liquid and solid refreshments at the Finish.

Article 17. Medical Services

Medical services will be sited along the route and in the Start and Finish area. All runners must fill in the back of their bibs with their full names, telephone number for use in emergencies, whether they have medical problems (allergies, special conditions), are receiving medical treatment, and their blood group.

Article 18

The only vehicles authorised to follow the trial will be those designated by the Organisers. The public are strictly forbidden to follow runners on motorbikes, bicycles, skates or any other wheeled vehicle. The Local Police and the Trial Judges will remove any unauthorised vehicle from the circuit in order to prevent accidents.

Article 19

The Organisers decline any liability for damage, harm or injuries that trial participants may suffer or cause to Third Parties. Nevertheless, the Organisers are holders of an Accident and Third Party Insurance Policy to cover the risks inherent in a race of this nature.

Article 20

Complaints must be orally made to the Arbitrating Judge no later than 30 minutes after the results have been officially announced. The Trial Judge’s decision is binding.

Terms, Disclaimers, and Data Protection

Article 21

All race participants, by virtue of entering for the trial, hereby state that they understand and accept these Regulations, Waivers of Liability, and Data Protection provisions. Should any dispute arise regarding their interpretation, that of the Organisers shall prevail.

By entering for the trial, the runner hereby states the following:

“I take part in the trial of my own free will and I fully understand the difficulty of a race of this kind given both the distance run and technical considerations. I hereby state that I have sufficient technical knowledge and experience of the race and that I am physically and mentally fit to run in the trial.

I hereby statethat I am in excellent health to take part in the 39th Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso EDP Marathon, and have good grounds for believing that my physical and mental state make me fit to run the race. I have passed all requisite medical examinations and that these have ruled out any disease, pathology, injury or other health problem that would make taking part in the trial risky. If my state of health changes, I solemnly undertake not to compete in the trial.

During the competition, I shall do my utmost to help the Organisers prevent personal accidents. I also undertake to act properly and not to endanger my health or that of others. I accept the rules set out in the REGULATIONS FOR THE VALENCIA-TRINIDAD ALFONSO EDP MARATHON 2019, security protocols and other guidelines set by the Organisers.

Furthermore, in the light of the foregoing I hereby exempt the Organisers, sponsors, and/or other participating institutions of any liability for any accident or injury which I may suffer before, during, or after the trial, renouncing any legal action against said parties.

I hereby authorise the Organisers to use photographs, videos, and any other kind of audio-visual material on me for advertising purposes. I accept publication of my name in the race classification, in the media and/or the Internet, renouncing any payment, compensation, or reward in this connection.”

The Organisers recommend that runners go for a medical check-up before the race. By entering for the trial, runners expressly accept the risk inherent in any sport.
