Photo Marathon

The Photo Marathon is a unique activity in the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon. It’s as important as the runners and their companions who go to cheer them on. This action tries to involve all the runners’ friends and relatives so that they are participants in the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon, not as runners, but as photographers…

This activity, the Photo Marathon, has already become a tradition for those who participate in the race but aren’t putting their running shoes on. The awards, designed to encourage participation, are widely distributed among the 30 finalists, 4 winners, awarded to specific thematic photos and gifts received by all participants.

The time and the place doesn’t matter. From the start in the morning, the moments before the trial, to the operation to clean-up all the remnants of the race, any photo that illustrates what the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon is like from your point of view is allowed. Because running is cool, but describing it is also a part of it.

Valencia Shopping Run

The Valencia City Trades Association (ACCHV) joined forces with the Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso EDP Marathon some years ago to ensure that both runners and non-runners got the best out of the event both along the circuit and throughout the rest of the city.

This year, it is again holding a shop window display competition whose theme is running the Marathon. The competition will be held among shops belonging to the trade association.

The competition will reward originality, use of space, and the creativity and innovativeness of displays. There are five prizes, worth €500 each, the categories being:

  • Originality.
  • Design.
  • Running Theme.

  • Popular vote (based on the photo most shared on Facebook)*

*Chosen from the pictures of shop window displays from participants and shared on Facebook. A raffle will be held between the people sharing these pictures, the prizes being 20 vouchers worth €100 each (including taxes) to spend at any of the shops taking part in the competition.

Effort Index

After months of research and coinciding with the last Valencian Marathon, the Valencian Institute of Economic Research and the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation presented the effort Index (é), a new way of measuring the level of physical effort a runner puts in when training or competing.

This is the first time that a numerical value has been used to objectively measure effort. The value ‘é’ is calculated using a mathematical equation containing these variables: the distance you are running, your age, how many years you have been running and the duration of the training session.

People had the chance to work out their effort index for the first time at the Expodeporte of the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon. At the Ciudad del Running stand computers and tablets were available for visitors to input their own data and try the system.

The effort index is represented by a number between 1 and 100, it is a new tool that runners can use to measure their progress. Furthermore, it allows runners to know the effort index of other runners, know the average of the races the user runs in, compete against friends, compare yourself to other runners and beat the goal you set yourself training session by training session.

Recycle your effort

The Trinidad Alfonso Foundation would like to reward in a very unique way the effort and the commitment the runners have shown in order to keep the city clean from race related rubbish after the event, which brings together such a large amount of spectators and runners.

With this in mind throughout the race, the runners can take part in the initiative, “Recicla tu Esfuerzo” (“Recycle your effort”). On the race day near the refreshment stations and finish line there are special rubbish containers strategically placed for the collection of plastic drinks containers and organic rubbish.

Paella Party

Paella Party La Fallera

There are many ways to discover Valencia and one of them is through the city’s cuisine. The idea of a pasta party has been adapted to reflect local tastes with a dish that is just as healthy: The Paella Party La Fallera.

The Paella Party was held on Saturday 2nd December from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. near to the ExpoDeporte entry (in the Runners’ Expo).

Once at the Paella Party La Fallera, participants will be able to pick up their picnic consisting of a plate of paella, as well as a drink, bread and fruit, to enjoy, if they wish, at the tables in the area near the Umbracle.

Valencia Mini Marathon

Mini Maratón Maratón Valencia

The parallel activities organised by the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich this year will once again feature the race most eagerly anticipated by the youngest runners: the Valencia MSC Mini Marathon.

The race is held the day before the adult marathon in the area around the City of Arts and Sciences and is organised by SD Correcaminos and Valencia City Council. It was held on Saturday 2nd December at midday. All of the children’s races were NON-COMPETITIVE and, thanks to MSC, all the youngsters taking part received a commemorative medal, a gymsack and a reusable bottle, while Coca-Cola provided water to help the runners recover from their efforts.

Registration costs 3 euros, which go entirely to the charity of the Valencia Marathon 2023: Casa Ronald McDonald.

NOTICE: We remind you that all participants may be filmed or photographed by the race for the dissemination of this parallel activity.

Impuls-a València

[vcr_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/7ub76lg6cpw'” width=”640″ height=”360″ responsive=”no” autohide=”yes” rel=”no” https=”yes”]
Impuls-a València is the main parallel activity in the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon. The Trinidad Alfonso Foundation and the CIDIDA Foundation organize this charity event.

The fourth edition of Impuls-a València will be presented by the journalist José Luís López and it will start off with a lecture by Cristina Mitre in the conference hall Santiago Grisolía. Cristina Mitre is a journalist, writer and a lecturer. She writes for her popular blog The Beauty Mail (thebeautymail.com), and she has already published two successful books: Mujeres que corren: todo lo que necesitas saber sobre el running (‘Women who run: everything you need to know about running’) “Correr es vivir a tope de power: lecciones vitales a golpe de zapatilla” (‘Running is living life to the fullest: vital lessons on running’).

Mitre also started the social movement ‘Women who run’ in Spain and Portugal, which aims at promoting sports among women and raising funds for childhood leukaemia research.

After her lecture, the documentary Km. 0. Correr, vivir, cambiar…Empezar de nuevo (‘Km. O. Run, live, change… Start again’) will be screened.  This documentary is set in the 5K Circuit of Jardí del Túria, where many runners have shared their experiences and stories since it was opened a year ago. In the documentary, runners tell us about the importance of running and the impact it has had on their daily life.

All tickets sales will be donated to the charity chosen by the Marathon.
