The event in a few words
Martín Fiz is somewhat like the Zidane of marathons... ⚽ but without the headbutts! In his honor, the Vitoria-Gasteiz Marathon (EDP) was born! 👏 In the Basque Country, in his hometown Vitoria-Gasteiz 🇪🇦, this marathon gathers many participants for their favorite pastime: running! 🏃♀️ This Spanish champion, born in 1963, has run more miles than your car covers in a year 🚙. His main achievement? He became the world champion in marathon in 1995 in Gothenburg 🏆 by running 42.195 km in the Swedish rain 🇸🇪, which seems to be his idea of a good day 💦. In short, while you're struggling to climb stairs, Martín Fiz runs a marathon before breakfast 🥐. So, if you want to train to be a bit more like him, why not challenge yourself to become a finisher of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Marathon 🎽? Of course, if you're not ready for the full 42 km, the event offers other options: you can split the difference 🔪 by registering for the half-marathon and its surprising 21 km! There are even shorter distances with a 10 km popular race 🔥, a fast-paced course that's perfect for sprinters and enjoyable for everyone! 🕺 This year, a 5 km has been added to make the race even more inclusive! 🤝 Did we forget something? Oh yes! The kids’ races, of course! 👶 The little ones can also enjoy 4 distances in the Txiki race for children aged 0 to 15 🧑. In any case, you will run through the beautiful city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, a green city where nature is ever-present 🌳. It's the perfect opportunity to feel that sensation you love: pushing your limits 💪, and maybe one day, challenging the feats of Martín Fiz! 🥇
To motivate you, he always sends a message to the participants of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Marathon (EDP) 📯: "In my city and in my marathon, I only hope you achieve your goals, both personal and athletic. I’ll see you running! Join me at the Martín Fiz Marathon of Totalenergies Vitoria-Gasteiz!”🤩
And as one good piece of news rarely comes alone, we have a few spots to recommend during your athletic stay! 😎 Just to unwind a bit! Once you’ve crossed the finish line 🏁, it’s time to embark on a new adventure, exploring the surrounding wonders! You can't miss the charming Plaza de la Virgen Blanca ⛲, the historic heart of the city. You might find yourself inspired by its heroic statue! 🗽 To continue your visit, get lost in the fabulous cobbled streets and the stunning cathedral of Santa María! ⛪ Then, a short excursion to the Gorbeia Natural Park will let you breathe fresh air and admire the scenery 🌄. For a relaxing moment, why not visit Laguardia, a medieval village in the wine region of La Rioja Alavesa? 🍇 Speaking of which, pintxos, traditional dishes with a sophisticated twist, make the local cuisine one of the main reasons for your visit! 🤤
So, future legend, ready to sign up? 🔮
