New Balance announces the launch of its new official collection for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich 2026, an exclusive capsule that pays homage to the city’s unique identity and to the running experience in one of the world’s fastest and most iconic marathons.
Inspired by architecture, culture, and the Mediterranean, the collection will be available at 28 selected centers in Spain and Portugal affiliated with the official program of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich, whose full list can be consulted on the event’s official website.
The collection this year draws its inspiration from architecture, culture and the Mediterranean, three elements that define Valencia’s character
The flowing curves present on the facades of modernist buildings, the wrought iron works, and the organic shapes that traverse the city are reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective to create a fresh and dynamic visual proposition. A palette of blues and aquamarine tones, inspired by Valencia’s connection to the sea, runs through the entire collection and combines with organic graphics that evoke the movement of water, merging the city’s identity with a modern, competitive running aesthetic.
The line of products is led by a special edition of the new Ellipse, a sneaker conceived to rediscover the joy of running and to enjoy every kilometer without the clock dictating the experience. Equipped with Fresh Foam X cushioning, the Ellipse provides a soft and comfortable ride, along with a rebound feeling designed to transform each workout into a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
Its profile and geometry foster a natural transition, inviting runners to connect with the sensations of running and lose track of time
The philosophy behind the Ellipse naturally aligns with the Valencia Marathon spirit, a race that year after year attracts runners from around the world due to the combination of performance, excitement and the unique surroundings in which it unfolds.
A technical collection designed for race day
In the textile section, the capsule includes several technical garments created specifically to accompany runners during training and on race day.
The Valencia Marathon Printed Athletics T-Shirt stands out for its lightweight and breathable mesh fabric construction, made with 95% recycled polyester. Available in men’s and women’s versions, it features the official Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Zurich Marathon badge and is designed to provide comfort and ventilation during the most demanding kilometers. Its print inspired by the movement of water reinforces the collection’s visual connection to the Mediterranean.
The collection also includes the Valencia Marathon RC Essential Short 5″, equipped with NB DRY technology that helps wick moisture to keep runners comfortable during the race. Its elastic fabric, breathable inner lining and its storage system with multiple pockets allow runners to focus solely on their performance.
Completing the offering is the Valencia Marathon Race Day Jacket, a lightweight, water-resistant jacket made from recycled polyester and featuring reflective details.
Designed to accompany runners before and after the competition, it incorporates the official event badge and blends technical functionality with a design inspired by the colors of the Valencian coastline
Just as the city that inspires it, the collection finds a balance between tradition and modernity, reinterpreting Valencian architectural and cultural elements through a contemporary visual language that celebrates movement, speed, and the connection between runner and surroundings. From the organic shapes of the design to the constant presence of marine tones, every piece has been conceived to convey Valencia’s essence to one of the most important dates on the international running calendar.
The collection will be available exclusively at the 28 selected centers in Spain and Portugal participating in this official Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich promotion, reinforcing New Balance’s commitment to the Iberian Peninsula’s specialized running ecosystem
