80 Spider-Man corre el Medio Maratón Valencia. La de 2025 fue su segunda vez, de hecho. Llegado directo desde Queens, colgaba de los tejados de la ciudad antes de cambiar las telarañas por un par de zapatillas… y ponerse a correr. En realidad, detrás de esa máscara no está Peter Parker. Está Jesús García y es de la misma Valencia, la ciudad en la que le encanta correr… porque se divierte. No persigue marcas –que también, no solo de luchar contra villanos vive el hombre araña–, más bien busca dar un toque ‘Marvel’ a este medio maratón. Spider-Man ran the Valencia Half Marathon. The 2025 race was actually his second time. Straight out of Queens, he used to swing from the city’s rooftops before swapping his spider webs for a pair of training shoes... and taking up running. In reality, Peter Parker is not behind this mask. It is Jesús García, and he’s from Valencia, the city where he loves to run... because it is great fun. He is not chasing his personal best –SpiderMan does not live by fighting villains alone– but rather he sought to give the half marathon a “Marvel-lous” touch. On crossing the finish line, Jesús confessed two things: that he dresses up to give children a surprise when they see him passing by, as if it were a Christmas parade, and also that he only put on his mask 300 metres from the finish line. Maybe so that he can breathe during the rest of the race. We are not totally convinced about the superhero secret identity bit, but we love people like Jesús.
