With the floods in Valencia is the marathon in doubt?

I've made my decision, I'm withdrawing from the marathon. It's so obvious it's not going ahead and by withdrawing today I can get a refund and book the Torino marathon instead. I wish each and every one of you well in your running endeavours but you won't see me in Valencia this year. Bye.

It won't even be a blurb. In 2012, the NYC Marathon canceled less than 48 hours before the start of the race. Runners were so disgusted the NYC Marathon never ran again.

Oops, actually when NYC ran again in 2013 it set the record at the time as the biggest Marathon ever with 50,267 finishers.

This doesn't bode well. Any more flooding and you'd think it's unlikely to go ahead. I imagine they're waiting to see the impact before making a decision.

I have taken a backup entry for Turin. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of running Turin?

If you want to run in an extremely high polluted city, with cold temperatures and an high probability of fog, Turin is the right place.

Maybe it was better to do Pisa on December 15th, if I remember correctly

If we assume that you're telling the truth, why exactly should the information come on November 20th? The football matches start in Valencia on November 21st. I think they need to send out some information during this week because they promised to. However, 'a couple of days' has already turned into 10 days...

Out of curiosity, do you work for the organization?

So, which is it? Is it that you know people in the Spanish running community and they've provided information that we're not privy to, or are you speculating based on the article / recent weather?

Source??

Hmmm. I just looked up air quality. At a quick glance, Turin is not that different to Valencia. Yes, looks like it may be cooler. That may not be all bad of course.

Apart from that, how is the race?

Turin is sort of the championship marathon for Italian running clubs, which are quite serious and competitive. I don't know why that other poster was complaining about air quality in Turin. It's fine, and Turin isn't colder than Pisa.

Another troll..the Valencia mayor is a woman you tool.
