The Royal Spanish Athletics Federation have awarded the Valencia Half Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich the title of the best half marathon in Spain, and when you run this amazing race it’s easy to see why. As well as the best, it’s also the country’s fastest half marathon. The city centre course winds its way through the busy streets of Valencia, as well as the Maritime Quarter. The route is constantly tweaked to make sure it takes in as much of the authentic city experience as possible,
The final event on the SuperHalfs calendar, the Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich Half Marathon is a fast course which previously held three world records from 2017.
But a race would be nothing without its spectators, and Valencia brings them in their thousands as cheering locals come out to support a global gathering of runners. Combine that with a fast course and good weather, and it’s easy to see why this event is always a sell-out!
