In addition, the average age of those registered is 42 years old and about 450 runners have stated in the registration process that they are debutants in the distance, i.e., that the January 15 race will be their first 10 km race.
Mizuno, sports brand of the 10K
The 10K Valencia Ibercaja returns to trust, for the third consecutive year, in the sports brand Mizuno to dress the runners with the official technical shirt. The Japanese sports equipment company founded in 1906 in Osaka (Japan), which already accompanied the runners in the last editions of 2021 and 2022 of the fastest 10K in the world, has an extensive relationship with the race for years.
The race director, Alex Aparicio, said that "we are proud to have one more year with the support of this technical brand that we love. Their product together with our design never leaves anyone indifferent, and this year we are working to improve ourselves, as we always try to do in the 10K Valencia Ibercaja".
"In the coming weeks," continued Aparicio, "we will unveil the design and color of the jersey for the 2023 edition, as well as some other surprises we are preparing for January 15.
