The organization of the test, led by SD Correcaminos, announced before the summer that it was modifying the registration system for 2026, implementing a mixed model with a loyalty period for those registered in 2025 and a subsequent “ballot” with the aim of giving the same opportunities to all runners and avoiding saturation of the platform and the dissatisfaction or frustration generated by high demand events.
Those who wish to register to vote can do so individually or in groups of up to three people. In any case, everyone has the same chance of getting a number, regardless of when they entered the draw. The draw will take place in front of a notary once the registration period has ended and all participants will be informed. from January 13.
Those who do not obtain a place (provided that the demand for numbers is greater than the available supply) will occupy a correlative order on the waiting list, in order to be able to obtain a place if the riders already registered in this draw withdraw due to a change of ownership, injury or reimbursement of service in the future.
At the same time, the Half marathon Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich 2026 has already placed the bib ban sign. After having exhausted 50 percent of its places during the loyalty period with 12,599 registered runners, the draw took place on November 17, after which the 25,000 available places were already filled once the winners’ registration period ended and to cover the non-formalized registrations from the waiting list.
