Carrera por la Solidaridad brings 2,546 together in València

The Carrera por la Solidaridad de València brought together 2,546 people for its second edition, held on Sunday 8 November on the paseo de la Alameda. The event raised an estimated 25,619 euros for charity.

The money will support organisations working on multiple sclerosis, lung cancer and ADHD. The estimate includes entry fees, direct and additional donations, and profits from the sale of charity T-shirts.

A day of racing and walking on the Alameda

The event took place between the Las Flores and La Exposición bridges and was organised by the Fundación Deportiva Municipal in collaboration with the Fundación Trinidad Alfonso. The programme combined a competitive 5 km race, 5 km and 2 km walks and children’s races.

Women accounted for 53.95% of entries across the events. In the walking events, their participation exceeded 66%.

Charrier and Landín win the 5 km race

Martin Charrier of AC La Roche Sur Yon won the competitive race in 15:18. Raquel Landín of The Kenyan Urban Way won the women’s race in 19:11. The competitive 5 km race had more than 1,200 finishers.

The event was part of the Club VCRunning calendar, giving those who completed it another opportunity to earn the club’s 2026 medal.

How the charity entry fees are distributed

During registration, each participant could choose one of the three causes to receive 70% of their entry fee. The remaining 30% would be split equally between the other two.

Entry to the 5 km race cost 10 euros; the 2 km walk cost 5 euros and the children’s races 3 euros. People could also contribute without taking part through Dorsal 0, or choose to buy the official T-shirt for 5 euros.
