If you’re running the Valencia Marathon, choosing the right place to stay matters: proper rest, easy access to the start and a kitchen for your race-day breakfast.
If any city was made for flying over the tarmac, it’s Valencia. Every year the city on the Turia becomes the world capital of road running, hosting two of the most sought-after races on the calendar: the Valencia Half Marathon and the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso.
With an ideal Mediterranean climate, wide streets and an incredible atmosphere, running either distance is an experience every runner should have at least once in their life. ☀️
🚀 The fastest course in the world
It’s no coincidence that the international elite choose our city to break historic records. The Valencia course is known worldwide as the fastest marathon in the world (and the half marathon regularly produces record times too). ⏱️
Sitting at sea level and almost completely flat, it’s the perfect course to smash your personal best. And the non-stop cheering from the locals will give you that extra push when your legs start to feel heavy. 🙌
🏁 Steps from the finish line: the City of Arts and Sciences
The start and the iconic blue finish ramp sit right over the stunning pools of the City of Arts and Sciences. 🏛️💧
Race-morning logistics can be stressful, so staying close to this area is a real competitive advantage. From our apartments you’ll be a stone’s throw from race HQ (direct Metro L10, under 10 minutes), which means no unnecessarily early alarm, no road-closure headaches and, best of all, a quick trip home for a well-earned hot shower after crossing the line. 🚿
🛌 The invisible training: rest well in the days before
Your race doesn’t start when the gun goes off, but in the days leading up to it. Resting properly before the race is essential if you want to perform at your best. 🔋
In a private apartment you get total peace and quiet, without the usual hotel corridor noise. And having your own kitchen lets you cook your carb-loading dinners and your pre-race breakfast exactly the way you’re used to, without depending on anyone else’s timetable. 🍝🍌
💡 Quick tips for your race weekend
- 👟 Runners’ Expo: Leave plenty of time to pick up your bib at the Expo, but don’t spend too many hours on your feet the day before. Save your energy!
- 🥘 The final reward: Valencia will be packed that weekend. Book your table in advance at a restaurant by the port or the beach to celebrate your medal with an authentic paella.
- 🌊 Recovery by the sea: Make the most of being close to the beach and go for a gentle walk the next day to help your legs recover.
