Background

The Valencia Marathon is known for its flat and fast course, making it one of Europe's premier marathons for achieving personal best times. The race takes place in December with favorable temperatures between 12-17°C (54-63°F). The course has a maximum time limit of 5 hours and 30 minutes, with runners starting in nine waves based on their expected finish times.

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve YES if I complete the official Valencia Marathon course in less than 5 hours (4:59:59 or better) according to the official chip timing results. The market will resolve NO if:

• I finish in 5 hours or more

• I do not start the race

• I start but do not finish

• I am disqualified

Considerations

• To finish under 5 hours, a runner needs to maintain an average pace of approximately 11:27 minutes per mile or 7:07 minutes per kilometer

• The race uses a wave start system, with the final wave (for runners expecting to finish in over 4:10:00) starting at 9:35 AM

• The course must be completed by 3:15 PM local time to be considered an official finish

• Only results from the official timing system will be considered for

• I have finished several marathons already, but this time i'm under trained and actually sick with fever as of friday.
