What is the Valencia Marathon?
The Valencia Marathon is regarded as one of the fastest marathon courses in the world. It is run in early December, usually in mild, dry weather, on closed, wide roads in the centre of Valencia, and carries the World Athletics Platinum Label. Around 30,000 runners line up every year, many of them chasing a personal best.
The course
The route is almost pancake-flat and sits at sea level. It runs through the old town, along the former bed of the Turia river – now a long green park – and through the port district. The finish is spectacular: the final metres cross a blue running bridge right on the water in front of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. Little wind, few turns, no climbs.

Who the course suits
Valencia is the classic choice for anyone targeting a new personal best: even, flat, well organised, with many official pacing groups. If your pacing is under control, conditions here are close to perfect. It also works well for a first marathon – the mild December weather and flat course take the pressure off.
