Valencia 10K Confirms 18,000 Runners and 16 Wave Starts for Sunday After Course Re-Homologation

City transport reroutes coincide with on-site medical support to manage the mass turnout.

Overview

  • Racing begins at 9:30 with World Elite and Sub-Elite leading off, rolling through 16 starts until 10:05, with corrals and closing times assigned by bib number.
  • Organizers shifted the start and finish on Paseo de la Alameda a few meters toward Puente de las Flores, prompting minor route tweaks and fresh certification.
  • Traffic restrictions include a full closure of the Alameda from 06:00 Sunday, partial cuts from Saturday afternoon, and parking bans in affected stretches.
  • EMT Valencia will divert 22 lines from 07:00 Sunday, suspend C1, 40, C2 and 94 until 11:00, and adjust several routes during Saturday’s assembly period.
  • The sold-out 5K (2,000 runners) starts at 08:15 under the same arch, the 10Kids event ran Saturday with about 800 participants, and Quirónsalud will staff race-day medical and physio services as the elite field pursues pending Spanish and European women’s records.
