The Zurich Maratón San Sebastián, which will celebrate its 47th edition on November 22, has signed a sponsorship agreement with Decathlon and Kiprun, its specialist running brand, which will jointly join the event as its new Technical Sponsor. The race is also part of the Circuit of the 5 Great Marathons of Spain.
Through this partnership, Decathlon and Kiprun will have a strong presence at the race and will play a leading role in the design and supply of technical equipment for athletes and event staff. Specifically, Kiprun will provide the official technical shirt for participants in the Marathon and 10K distances, as well as the technical kit for the pacers in both races, the event staff and the volunteer team, a fundamental pillar in the organisation of the event.
During race weekend, Decathlon will have a 130 m² stand at the Runner’s Expo, where participants and their companions will be able to enjoy different activities, including the official Shake Out of the race organised by Zurich.
“Being part of the second-oldest marathon in Spain is a great source of pride for us. Donostia is an unrivalled setting for running, and this 47th edition, with its 11,000 participants, is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our strong commitment to access to sport and to a running community that continues to grow,” says José María Joya, Northern Zone Director at Decathlon Spain.
“Running is a fundamental pillar for Decathlon Spain, and being present at an event with the history of the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián allows us to connect directly with runners, accompanying them from our stores and the Decathlon Runners community all the way to the finish line, with maximum technical innovation and the expert advice of our specialist brand Kiprun,” says Jon Zumaquero, Running Commercial Director at Decathlon Spain.
“We are delighted to welcome Decathlon and Kiprun as Technical Sponsors of the Donostia marathon. We would like this partnership to continue for many years and, together with Decathlon, to keep improving the experience of the more than 11,000 participants who join us every year. As we say in Basque: Ongi etorri!” says Iñigo Olaizola, General Manager of the race.
