38 Placeta INNSiDE by Meliá Valencia Oceanic. El sábado, al ritmo que el termómetro de nervios llegaba a máximos entre los corredores, fue el momento de las charlas técnicas.

La Placeta INNSiDE by Meliá Valencia Oceanic: the “town square” for the paradise del running In the Ciudad del Running, there is a special place that encapsulates the essence of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich. There is a starting point before setting off across the Puente de Monteolivete bridge, a crucial moment long before the starting gun is fired in Plaça de la Marató. A place where the magic of Spain's fastest marathon truly begins: if Valencia is paradise, the Placeta INNSiDE by Meliá Valencia Oceanic is its town square. At the heart of the traditional race fair, La Placeta once again represented the first stride. Kilometre zero. A setting with an atmosphere understood by those feeling butterflies in their stomachs before the big day. A meeting point for excited debutants and experienced veterans, elite and amateur runners, coaches and trainees, and anyone wanting to soak up the atmosphere of the Valencia Marathon. Inspiration and community The events held there brought together the voices of the elite athletes, coaches, organisers and, of course, of the grassroots runners. All driven by the same motivation: a passion for running. La Placeta was a space for analysing the course, for last-minute advice, for interesting stories and for the community atmosphere that only a major marathon can generate. Porque, una vez más, Valencia corrió por ‘algo más grande’ que una carrera. Ese fue el late motiv de la ponencia de la Z Zurich Foundation, de la mano de la ONG World Central Kitchen, sobre ‘el poder de la solidaridad en el mundo del running’. La tecnología deportiva de COROS, el carácter medioambiental de Hyundai y el componente sanitario de Vithas redondearon la edición más numerosa de siempre de La Placeta. At La Placeta, the biggest names in world athletics feel accessible and grassroots athletes feel part of something monumental. The Valencia Marathon does not begin on Sunday, when you put on your running shoes and pin on your race bib. In reality, it starts when you visit La Placeta for the first time. A must for those who wanted to make the most of the Valencia Marathon 2025 experience. What could we experience at La Placeta INNSiDE by Meliá Valencia Oceanic?
