The 2025 Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich Marathon has once again been an organizational phenomenon, selling out all 35,000 bibs in record time.
The success of the race is based on its route: an extremely flat circuit with minimal elevation changes, ideal for elite and amateur runners alike.
Circuit Records: Sisay Lemma and Almaz Ayana
Sunday morning delivered two historic performances with new circuit records, reaffirming the speed of the Valencia circuit.
The new men's record (2:01:48) was set when Sisay Lemma attacked between kilometers 32 and 35, pulling away from his rivals with a brutal change of pace.
In the women's category, Almaz Ayana showed tactical patience, launching her decisive attack after kilometer 33 to consolidate her lead and take the Women's Circuit Record (2:16:22).
Economic Impact and Global Coverage
The 2025 Valencia Marathon has established itself as a financial asset of the highest order.
The estimated economic impact exceeded €20 million, distributed across various sectors:
Hospitality and Tourism: The high influx of runners (more than 50% from outside the Valencian Community) and their companions resulted in hotel occupancy rates of close to 100% over the weekend.
Local Commerce: The retail sector, especially the Feria del Corredor and local restaurants, experienced a significant increase in sales, injecting direct liquidity into the city's economy.
Employment: Logistics, security, catering, and event organization generated hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, boosting the local labor market.
Mass Media Coverage
On the other hand, the sporting magnitude of the event guaranteed unparalleled coverage.
The race was broadcast live on television via major sports channels in Europe, Asia, and America. It is estimated that the global audience exceeded 50 million viewers throughout the day.
This was complemented by constant coverage on national and local radio stations and an explosion of content on social media (X, Instagram, TikTok), where the 35,000 finishers acted as ambassadors, amplifying Valencia's image as a world-class sporting destination.
Unquestionable Leadership
In short, the 2025 Valencia Marathon has been a resounding success once again, not only thanks to the records set by Sisay Lemma and Almaz Ayana, but also due to its social and economic impact, which benefits the entire city.
Legendary speed is his hallmark, and Valencia is already preparing for the inevitable assault on the absolute world record in the next edition.
