The Valencia Marathon 2025 is set to be an exciting spectacle, featuring a star-studded lineup of athletes from around the world. Here's a preview of some of the top contenders and how to catch the action live.
World Champion's Return: A Quest for Improvement
Just three months after her historic victory at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Brigid Kosgei is back for her second marathon of the year. The Kenyan athlete aims to improve her personal best, having already proven her mettle in a fiercely competitive race. Kosgei's win in Tokyo, where she battled through warm and humid conditions to beat Ethiopian Tigist Assefa, marked her second major title in Japan, following her Olympic triumph four years ago. This marathon marks a significant step in her marathon career, which began in 2020.
Kenyan Contenders: New York Champion and Valencia Record Holder
The race will also feature fellow Kenyan Joyciline Jepkosgei, a formidable force with a personal best of 2:16:24. She is the 2019 New York Marathon champion and will be a strong contender. Additionally, Beriso, the 2023 Valencia Marathon winner and current record holder on the course with a time of 2:14:58, will be a force to be reckoned with.
American Half-Marathon Record Holder: Capitalizing on Ideal Conditions
Keria D'Amato, the American half-marathon record holder, is among the elite athletes who will seek to take advantage of the typically mild weather conditions, which usually range from 12 to 17 degrees Celsius at this time of year. Despite her age of 41, D'Amato remains one of the most accomplished marathoners in the United States.
