This study, commissioned by the Municipal Sports Foundation of Valencia, quantifies the economic impact of the 34th Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Marathon, which took place in 2014, in terms of production, income (value added) and employment on the Valencian economy. The expenditure requiered to host the event as well as the tourist expenditure made by the participants during their stay in Valencia have been estimated. Once the full direct cost associated to the marathon is computed, the overall impact is estimated using an input-output methodology.
