In addition, all registrants may access their Private Registration Area (at the same time and under the same terms) to add the services they did not initially purchase. The services that can be added are the following:
It is possible to change the name on the bib in the Private Area of the runner's registration. This is the only legal method for making a change or transfer of ownership.
In other words, you can legally transfer your race bib and place in the race to another runner through our platform.
This service will be available until December 10, 2026 (11:59 p.m.) with a €5 administration fee that will be charged to the new holder. From December 11 onwards, it will NOT be possible to make any changes to the registration details.
Change of title at the Career Fair:
If, after December 11, the holder wishes to transfer their race number to another runner, they must do so at the Race Fair on the days when race numbers are collected:
It is reiterated that, for legal and sporting reasons, but above all for safety, the bib may not be transferred to another runner without following this process and without obtaining the agreement of the organization.
The organization requests everyone's cooperation so that no runner participates with another runner's bib without having made the corresponding change of ownership through our registration platform.
6.1.- Career Fair.
Race numbers (and T-shirts) can be collected during the days leading up to the event, at a time and place to be confirmed. The organizers will inform participants of these details well in advance.
6.2.- Authorizations.
In case of not being able to attend during these three days, the registrant may authorize another person to pick it up on his behalf. To do so, the authorized person will only need to present a copy of his/her ID card or supporting document (driver's license, passport) or, failing that, the proof of registration. The image of any of the above documents can be presented on the cell phone. It is not necessary to present it on paper.
6.3.- Delivery of race bibs on race day.
This service will only be available for runners who come from outside Valencia and metropolitan area and can justify it with documents. The delivery of bibs and the technical garment that the organization may give away with the registration, will take place in the starting area between 07:30 and 08:30 hours (60 min. before the start of the race). After that time, the race bibs will be closed and therefore it will be impossible to collect them.
Once the race is over, the race bibs will NOT be delivered or sent, neither the technical garment nor the gifts that the organization may give during the Race Fair.
7.1.- Outlets and drawers.
The maximum duration of the race for each participant will be 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes) from the time of departure.
The organization will enable a first start for World Elite and Sub-Elite athletes at 9:30 a.m., followed by a total of 15 more starts to facilitate the smooth running of the race. Likewise, the first starts will be made on both sides of the Paseo de la Alameda.
The decision to make several starts does not affect in any case the complete and correct timing of all athletes, whatever the start, being each of the shots considered as a new official time. The organization reserves the right to carry out a different number of starts and/or reorganize them if for safety, organizational and/or logistical reasons, it is considered.
All runners will be aware of their start and their assigned box at the moment they are sent the information with their bib number (via e-mail) and in any case at the moment they pick up their bib at the Race Fair, since this information will be indicated on their bib.
7.2.- Compulsory mark accreditation for runners SUB 36′.
In order to manage in the best possible way the starts and to place each runner with those of a similar level, we carry out a verification of the data collected after registration for those who aspire to the first drawers.
All runners who register with the objective of finishing under 36 minutes must prove their previous best time in any of the official distances through the procedure available on the registration website. Failure to comply with this requirement or the impossibility to confirm it will result in the assignment to the last start.
During the registration process, additional information will be requested, including a URL for anapproved 5K, 10K, 15K, or half marathon racein which you have participated since January 1, 2025, with an equivalent time.
VERY IMPORTANT: All runners, based on their accredited time (Sub 36′ or lower) in the registration process, will be assigned a specific start time. If, in spite of all the measures put in place by the organization, the runner does not comply with this rule by leaving before the time assigned to him/her, he/she will be automatically disqualified by the chip configuration of his/her bib.
7.3.- Change of starting box.
As a general rule, the starting box will be assigned automatically according to the mark that has been credited in the registration process, under the above premises. The process is carried out by dividing the total number of registered participants by the number of starts to be made, so in no case the participants choose the start at the time of registration.
If the runner wishes to start from a later starting box, no change is necessary, as he/she can start the race at any of the following starting points.
If, once registered, the runner improves their predicted time and wishes to start from a faster starting block,they may request a change to their predicted or accredited time until December 10, 2026 (11:59 p.m.). To do so, the runner must send an email toinfo@10kvalencia.com requestingthe change and providing the required documentation.
Documentary proof of this will be mandatory via a link to an approved degree course taken by the interested party since January 1, 2024, based on the above criteria.From December 11, 2026, no changes will be possible, not even at the Career Fair.
8.1.- On the day of the race, a free cloakroom will be available from 7:30 a.m. Runners will be informed of its exact location before the race. Remember to pick up your cloakroom sticker, which you can collect with your race number.
8.2.- The organization will set up a liquid refreshment station halfway through the course (after km. 5) and another one after crossing the finish line.
The male and female categories are governed by the rules of World Athletics and the RFEA, and are established as follows:
* All the ages indicated must be reached on the day of the test.
NOTICE: The organization will demand the full restitution of the economic prizes of any athlete if World Athletics cancels his sports results due to a sanction for doping in the specific controls of the race, or even later for anomaly in the Athlete Biological Passport (Biological Passport), regardless of whether the athlete has not tested positive in the specific anti-doping controls of the race. Any athlete, or failing that Manager World Athletics, who accepts a financial prize in the 10K Valencia automatically assumes this condition to ensure equal opportunities, cleanliness and health in athletics.
9.1.- Time control and classifications.
The race is controlled by the Judges Committee of the FACV and RFEA. There will be time controls along the course. Only those participants who run the race with the chip provided by the organization, placed on the back of the race bib, will appear in the classification. The runner will be able to check the proper functioning of his chip at the corresponding stand at the Race Fair.
9.2.- Infringements and disqualifications.
The judges of the race and the organization reserve the right to disqualify any runner who commits any irregularity:
Given the serious damage that this would cause to the organization and the other runners of the race, in case of access to the race in violation of the established conditions of access or any irregularity is committed, the organization reserves the right to take appropriate action, in accordance with the applicable legislation.
