FINISHER’S MAGAZINE

52 The European adventure every SuperRunner dreams of 451 runners earned their exclusive medal for completing the six races in the international SuperHalfs circuit at the Valencia Half Marathon Valencia is in vogue. It is not only Finisher’s Magazine or the millions of visitors who discover the city each year who say so, but also the international runners who take part each year in the Valencia Half Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich. This is why this race is part of the select group of events that make up the SuperHalfs, the European half marathon circuit that brings together the six most prestigious races on the continent with one goal in maind: to enable grassroots runners to design their own calendar, complete all of them and be inducted into the global running Hall of Fame, all while travelling around Europe. Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cardiff... and Valencia. These are the chosen ones, the half marathons that shine brightest on the old continent. And this year, the Valencia Half Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich was once again the final destination for many of them. The truth is, the SuperHalfs started out with five races and a time limit for running in them, but the flood of registrations that continues to pour into the platform and the crowded waiting lists of people hoping to get a race bib for each race (for example, this year in Valencia, more than 15,000 people were left waiting), made a small change necessary: now, there is no time limit. The time limit is at each athlete’s discretion.
