The Gasol Foundation has been chosen by the Organising Committee as the charity to be supported by the 42nd Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso EDP.
The Gasol Foundation’s mission is to end childhood obesity through research and development, by implementing health promotion programmes and through public awareness. Founded by Marc and Pau Gasol in 2013, the Gasol Foundation was created with the goal of achieving a world in which all children reach adulthood physically and mentally prepared to live a full, healthy and opportunity-filled life.
In addition to the runners during the registration process, anyone, whether registered in the Valencia Marathon or not, wishing to donate to this year’s charity and good cause can do so by clicking on the following link:

On the other hand, it is worth noting that there are many ways to lend a hand to charitable organisations. So, these are some of the different activities that the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso has organised for its charity:
Mini Valencia Marathon
This parallel activity aimed at the youngest children has been held since 2014 to promote athletics from an early age. The Mini Marathon is another action promoting social involvement by the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso. As well as being an activity aimed at the youngest members of families, registration for the race includes a €3 donation to the official charity.
Donation on registration
The Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso offers all runners the chance to donate an extra amount of money that will go entirely to that year’s charity.
And even if you are not going to run, you can still participate in our donation on registration initiative through this direct link.
