There will be a Valencia Marathon in 2024. This year, the goal is solidarity.
The next December 1, the city of Valencia will be the epicenter of a celebration that goes beyond sport.
After weeks marked by uncertainty and pain due to the recent DANA that affected the province, the city is preparing to host the Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich Marathon.
Over the past few days, the Marathon organisers have been working tirelessly to ensure that the event can take place.
The message is clear: this marathon will be a tribute to the city's resilience and collective spirit.
In the words of the organizers, “On December 1st we will not only run for a personal record, but for solidarity, for the reconstruction of Valencia, for every family and every corner that needs to get back on its feet.. "
Solidarity through sport: three aid initiatives
This year, the Valencia Marathon has a strong charitable component, with three important initiatives to raise funds for the reconstruction of sports areas and schools affected by the DANA:
- Donation for each runner who reaches the finish line: The organization will donate 3 euros for each athlete who crosses the finish line. This initiative seeks to encourage participation and demonstrate how each step contributes to the recovery of the city.
- Support from sponsors: Event sponsors have also pledged to contribute financially, allocating additional funds for this purpose.
- Solidarity bib number “zero bib”: A donation platform has been set up where anyone can participate with a “bib number zero”. In this way, even those who do not participate in the race can be part of this movement of solidarity and support.
A marathon with a goal bigger than sport
The Valencia Marathon 2024 will not only be a test of physical and mental endurance, but also a great collective embrace of the city.
The organizers have stressed that “theThe only record we care about beating this year is the record for solidarity".
With this message, they hope that the event on December 1st will be remembered not only as one of the great races of the calendar sporting, but also as an example of how sport can be a driving force for social change.
This year's edition promises to be full of thrills. The streets of Valencia will be filled with runners willing to challenge their own limits, but also to do their bit for the reconstruction of the city.
With the collaboration of sponsors, runners and citizens, it is hoped that the fundraising will reach a significant figure that will have a positive impact on the affected areas.
