The final event on the SuperHalfs calendar, the Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich Half Marathon, is a fast and iconic course that previously held three world records since 2017. But a race would be nothing without its spectators, and Valencia brings them out in their thousands, as cheering locals line the streets to support a global gathering of runners. Combined with a fast course and excellent weather, it’s easy to understand why this event is always a sell‑out.

The Valencia Half Marathon is one of the fastest races in the world and one of the most appreciated in Europe — a GOLD LABEL event included in the six half marathons of the SUPERHALFS SERIES. The 2025 edition will take place on Sunday, 25 October, and it is the last race of the 2026 SuperHalfs cycle. The event is already officially SOLD OUT, with 25,000 runners at the start.

The Royal Spanish Athletics Federation has awarded the Valencia Half Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich the title of the best half marathon in Spain — and once you run it, it’s easy to see why. It is also the fastest half marathon in the country. The city‑center course winds through Valencia’s lively streets and the Maritime Quarter. The route is constantly refined to include as much authentic city scenery as possible while removing tight bends to allow for faster finishing times.

Valencia is a travel haven: dazzling beaches, friendly locals, and a mix of trendy, fast‑paced neighborhoods and relaxed bars where you can unwind. Despite being Spain’s third‑largest city, Valencia still feels like a charming coastal destination, offering delicious food and exciting attractions at very affordable prices.

With excellent public transport, getting around the city is effortless. Locals are warm and welcoming, with a love for life that often keeps them out enjoying the city until the early hours. Valencia’s rich cultural history blends with modern trends, visible in its architecture, nightlife, bars, and vibrant art scene — all constantly evolving.
