The 10K Valencia (Catalan: 10K València; also known as the 10K Valencia Ibercaja for sponsorship reasons[4][5]) is an annual road-based 10K run hosted by Valencia, Spain, since 2009.[1][3][2] The marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[1][2] A 5K race is also held on the same day.[6][7]
