Valencia’s 15K/7.5K Sells Out 12,000 Entries as New Port Course Debuts Sunday

A newly certified route puts the start and finish at the port to ease the opening kilometers and help faster times.

Overview

  • Sunday at 9 a.m., 12,000 runners will take on the 15K and 7.5K from Valencia’s Port by Tinglado No. 4, returning to finish at the same spot.
  • The Runner’s Expo at Las Provincias’ La Rotativa distributes bibs and race bags through Saturday, with photo ID required for pickup.
  • Organizers redesigned the start area to spread runners into corrals, which reduces bottlenecks and allows the field to expand to 12,000.
  • The 15K course gained Royal Spanish Athletics Federation certification in 2024, a flat profile that draws elite names such as Rober Alaiz and Alondra Negrón.
  • City notices flag road closures from early Sunday and transit changes on EMT bus lines and Metrovalencia trams near the course.
