Article 6: Registration
6.1 Maximum capacity and prices
There will be a maximum of 25,000 bib numbers available to the public.
The prices and tranches* will be as follows:
- Bib no. from 1 to 10,000: €40.
- Bibs from 10,001 to 25,000: €80.
- Bibs from ballot: €80.
(*) This price does not include the Day Licence (3 euros mandatory) for runners who do not have a current national licence (RFEA), Valencian regional licence (FACV) or Runner Plus Card. The promotions offered by the race will be communicated to the interested parties and will not be cumulative.
Registration will be closed when the maximum quota of 25,000 bib number available for public has been reached, thus guaranteeing a sustainable increase in the number of runners, a quality experience for the runners and the best possible safety conditions.
The organisers will set up a waiting list through the official website to fill any vacancies that may arise due to runners dropping out, at a price of €100 per registration fee (plus €3 for the Day Licence).
6.2 Registration for persons with disabilities:
Any athlete with a disability that can be included in any of the four adapted categories will enjoy a discount on registration, taking into account the tranches and dates indicated above, provided they meet the Covid-19 prevention requirements described above, and if there are bibs available.
To compete in any of the four adapted categories (wheelchair,people with functional disabilities, people with sensory disabilities and people with intellectual disabilities), registration must be formalised with the FESA (Comunitat Valenciana Adapted Sports Federation), whose contact email address is 21k42k@fesa.es, and telephone +34 96 346 57 26. The FESA contributes its criteria, knowledge and experience to ensure the correct grouping in the different categories.
Any athlete who, for whatever reason, does not register through the FESA, will not be classified in any of the four categories of athletes with disabilities, nor will they receive a discount.
Each blind or visually impaired (B2) athlete who requires one will have the right to be accompanied by a guide whose registration will be 100% free and will be made directly through the FESA. There can only be one guide for each athlete with visual impairment.
6.3 Registrations will be made through the website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ (As long as bibs are available).
The website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ managed by S.D. Correcaminos is the only official and authorised online distributor for registration in the race, so, under no circumstances is registration or the purchase of bibs through different platforms recommended.
The organisers are not responsible for the reliability, veracity and/or suitability of registrations made through third parties, nor do they assume any obligation regarding the availability of places, stock and/or price.
No guarantee is given regarding the recognition of any rights relating to the guarantee, withdrawal, exchange and/or any other rights recognised to the registered persons if the products are not the official ones or have not been obtained through S.D. Correcaminos and/or the website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/.
The above is without prejudice to registrations made through official tour operators and included in travel packs, which in any case will redirect to the aforementioned website for the purpose of completing the registration directly on the authorised distribution platform.
6.4 Sub-elite bib status will apply to athletes who apply with times under 30:00 in a 10k or 10,000m race, 1h06:00 in a half marathon, or 2h20:00 in a marathon run in the last three years (2024, 2025 and 2026), and under 35:30, 1h17:30 or 2h45:00 in 2024, 2025 and 2026 for women and provided they have been achieved in events on the official World Athletics calendar on approved courses. Sub-elite bibs will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and only until sold out, from 30 April 2026. There will be no personal food provision or payment of expenses or fees for sub-elite athletes. Elite bibs will not be contracted or given to athletes who have had serious doping sanctions from World Athletics, regardless of whether they have served their sanction.
6.5 If you need to make any changes or modifications, you have until 30 September to do so. From 1 to 16 October, any changes to your registration or associated services will be considered late and will incur an additional cost of €25 for administration and reprinting of race numbers.

Article 7: Change of owner
7.1 It will be possible to change the name or owner of the bib/chip through our registration platform in the Runner’s Area section “Request change of owner”.
It is the only method to make a change or transfer of legal ownership.
You can transfer your bib in the race to another runner legally through our platform. The new participant will formalize a new registration with his/her data.The cost of the new registration will be the price of the section in force at the time of the change of holder. The refund of the original registration will be approved when the new registration is formalized.
Registrations obtained through the ballot that are cancelled due to a change of holder (from February 1 onwards) will be offered to people on the waiting list who did not secure a spot in the ballot.
Management costs for the change of holder of the registration:
- Until 30th September (inclusive), it will be 5 euros for “Management costs”, which is assumed by the runner who cancels their registration, and will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.
- The organisers reserve the right to modify the way in which the change is made.
NOTICE: No registration code received for a change of ownership may be used to hold a draw individually or through a brand or third party, and the Organisation reserves the right to cancel it.
7.2 For legal and sporting reasons, but above all for safety reasons, it will not be possible to transfer the bib to another runner without following the process foreseen for this purpose and without obtaining the organiser’s agreement. Any runner who impersonates another person will be asked to leave the race. In the event that the organisers become aware of this circumstance prior to the race, the bib that has been sold or transferred without authorisation will be disqualified, and the owner will not be open to participation in the race. In addition, given the risk run by those people who wear a bib without the knowledge of the organisers and the distortion produced in the rankings, the organisers may note down the details of any person who receives, gives or sells a bib, preventing their registration for the following 4 years, and, where appropriate, inform other marathon, half marathon and 10K organisations of their actions. In the case of athletes who are members of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA) and the Comunitat Valenciana Athletics Federation, their conduct will also be reported so that, if appropriate, the corresponding measures may be taken.
