The Marathon Route
Two of the greatest attractions of the Valencia Marathon are, first, that the 42.195-kilometer course is completely flat (ideal for breaking records) and, second, that the temperature is perfect for outdoor sports, between 12 and 17 degrees Celsius. The route starts and ends in the area of the City of Arts and Sciences complex in Valencia and, as usually happens in big city races, runners have the opportunity to admire some of the best monuments along the course, without cars and in a very special way. 
Frequently Asked Questions about the Valencia Marathon 2019?
All athletes who wish to participate are welcome, whether licensed or not, who are 18 years old on race day and who have correctly completed the registration process. At this moment, all registrations for the Valencia Marathon are already sold out, so if you want to attend the event you must sign up for the waiting list.
When is the Valencia Half Marathon 2019?
The Valencia half marathon takes place a few months before the marathon. Specifically, in 2019, the event was scheduled for October 27. If you didn't make it in time, the organizers remind you that it is a date to mark in your calendar because in few places are runners treated as well as in Valencia, with “many services and care during the race” as well as “numerous refreshment points, gels, shower service, and cloakroom.” These statements are confirmed by awards such as the IAAF Gold Label (in Spanish, La Asociación Internacional de Federaciones de Atletismo), which both the Marathon and the Half Marathon of Valencia have received.
The 10k in the Valencia Marathon 2019
Parallel to the Valencia Marathon with its 42.195 kilometers, a 10-kilometer race is held sharing the start and finish points but with a properly differentiated route. Good news for amateur runners or friends of participants in the long course who also want to join this great sports celebration. In this case, registrations are also sold out and those interested must sign up for the waiting list.
