Valencia Marathon 2024: Final Elite Fields Announced

Tuesday, 26 November 2024

The Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich has unveiled its elite men’s and women’s fields for the upcoming race, solidifying its reputation as one of the fastest marathons in the world. Scheduled for December 1, the event is organized by SD Correcaminos and the Valencia City Council, drawing top-tier international athletes aiming for record-breaking performances. With Valencia already established as the fourth fastest marathon globally in the men’s category, thanks to Sisay Lemma’s 2022 time of 2:01:48, the 2024 edition promises to deliver another thrilling showcase of endurance and speed.

The men’s elite field for the Valencia Marathon 2024 features a star-studded lineup, including Sisay Lemma, defending champion and record holder, and the legendary Kenenisa Bekele, who returns to improve on his fourth-place finish from last year. Notable debuts include Hillary Kipkoech, a seasoned pacemaker with impressive half-marathon credentials, Sebastian Sawe, reigning half marathon world champion, and Daniel Mateiko, fresh off a podium finish in the Valencia Half Marathon. The blend of experienced champions and emerging talent ensures the race will be one to watch, as Valencia continues to push the boundaries of marathon performance.
