The number of runners who frequently use the Valencia 5K Circuit increases

During the weeks before the marathon, the use of the Valencia 5K Circuit increased 28% compared with 2015

The latest statistical report developed by the Ivie on the use of the Valencia 5K Circuit reveals that the runners’ lane, funded by the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation, has built up loyalty among runners. In particular, the VIII section of the circuit located at “Puente del Real” was used by runners 15,300 times during the first week of October, a 28% increase compared with 2015.

The use of the circuit increases, especially during the weeks prior to the half-marathon and marathon held in Valencia, but it also registers more uses in the weeks following the races. During the last week of November, after the Valencia Marathon competition, the circuit was used 8,500 times per week, with a slight 5% increase with respect to the data registered in the same period in 2015. The peaks of activity have not changed for the past two years and continue to be intense during specific hours of the day: 9 am – 10 am and 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

According to the Strava Insights 2017 report, developed by the social network for athletes with GPS data registered by runners, the III section of the Valencia 5K Circuit is the 3rd most-used trail by runners in Spain, with more than 76,000 uses (the 1st and 2nd are located in Madrid and Barcelona, respectively).
