Tomorrow is the Valencia Marathon, where 35,000 runners will try to beat their personal best, make their debut or enjoy the experience of running in the city of running.
After the Valencia Half Marathon and Yomif Kejelcha’s world record, the race organised by SD Correcaminos and the Valencia City Council has left the flag very high. However, it seems that this will not be the year in which the marathon world record will be achieved in Valencia.
The one that could be achieved is that of the event, which is currently held by Sisay Lemma (2:01:48) and who returns to Valencia with the intention of improving her record. His main competitors will be the legendary Kenenisa Bekele and debutant Sebastian Sawe.
As for the women, after the last minute withdrawal of Amane Beriso, who also holds the race record, the great aspirants to win the race are the Ugandan Stella Chesang, national record holder, and the Ethiopian Megertu Alemu, who admitted in the press conference prior to the Marathon that she intends to snatch the race record from Beriso.
