The second-oldest marathon in Spain keeps its traditional date on the last Sunday of November, but the new management team, with <strong>RPM-MKTG and\u202fDONOSTI EVENTOS<\/strong> at the forefront, marks a break with the past. The combination of <strong>Grupo Vocento<\/strong>&#8216;s experience in communications and RPM-MKTG&#8217;s organisational know-how make it one of the most dynamic unions in Spain and represents a quantum leap for the Marat\u00f3n de San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisers are working on a wide range of new features, a new website and several fringe activities held on the eve of the marathon to make the weekend of the event a big city-wide celebration. Children will get the opportunity to shine in the <strong>Txiki\u202fMarat\u00f3n<\/strong>, while companions will have the option to tackle the <strong>Gosaria\u202fRun<\/strong> together with the marathon runners \u2014a laid-back run leading up to a fun breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new organisers have overhauled the race from the bottom up. The race is back with a new visual identity, a fresh image, a course whose least appealing parts have been modified and the involvement of the people of Gipuzkoa through concrete initiatives. From the Gosaria Run and the performances to the Txiki Marat\u00f3n and the Virtual Marathon, the new Zurich Marat\u00f3n San Sebasti\u00e1n has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, the pandemic caused the Marat\u00f3n de San Sebasti\u00e1n to be cancelled for the first time in its history, which goes all the way back to 1978. The &#8220;Beautiful Easo&#8221; is therefore more eager than ever to roll out the red carpet for the athletes, who will again get to run in front of La Concha, which regularly tops the rankings of best beaches in Europe. There are many marathons, but only one San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zurich Marat\u00f3n San Sebasti\u00e1n has entered a new phase with vast potential for growth since <strong>RPM-MKTG <\/strong>and<strong>\u202fDONOSTI EVENTOS<\/strong> came on board as its new organisers.&nbsp;The former has ample experience running other prestigious races such as the Zurich Marat\u00f3 Barcelona and the Titan Desert, while the San Sebasti\u00e1n-based firm manages events such as the Donosti Cup and the Carrera de Empresas. Their alliance, combined with Grupo Vocento&#8217;s powerful communications platform, gives the Gipuzkoan race unlimited growth potential and an auspicious future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that the organisers will pull out all the stops to keep runners safe. The rapid pace of vaccination bodes well for a marathon held under almost-normal circumstances. In any case, the race will observe the measures established by the health authorities at the time of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of athletes will again enjoy one of the most charming cities on Earth, considered the world capital of cuisine.
