75 Donating to charity is an essential part of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich. As was proven once again. The 36,000 runners, finishers or not, had one wish: that the charitable donation from the 45th Valencia Marathon would be historic. They achieved it. This year, the beneficiary was the Pequeño Deseo Foundation, which received a total of €91,902 thanks to the contribution from the Z Zurich Foundation and its now famous ‘1 euro per finisher’ initiative (a donation of €30,777) and the voluntary donations made by runners when they registered, which exceeded €50,000. The result is a figure that continues to break records (with the exception of 2024 due to the flooding caused by the rainstorms in the Valencia area) In addition, this record-breaking amount raised for charity is made up of other donations, including the €3,600 raised through the Valencia MSC Mini Marathon race bibs and the €7,500 contributed by New Balance via the Long Run, the test run organised by the official sports sponsor of the Valencia Marathon, which brought together 1,500 runners weeks before the race, with all registrations going to the charity chosen for this year's event.
