Zurich Seguros extends its main sponsorship of the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián until 2028

• Zurich Seguros has renewed its commitment to the San Sebastian race for four years and will continue to be the race’s title sponsor until 2028.
• The Zurich Maratón San Sebastián began with this sponsorship in 2016, which has favoured its international projection and has made it part of the Zurich Big 5 Circuit.

Zurich Seguros and the organisers of the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián (UTE Donosti Eventos and RPM SPORTS by Experientia) have renewed their sponsorship agreement as title sponsor of the great athletics event in Donostia until 2028. With this extension, Zurich Seguros reinforces its commitment to running and to one of the most emblematic races in the national and international calendar, which is currently part of the Zurich Big 5 Circuit.

Since Zurich Seguros became the main sponsor of the Donostia marathon in 2016, this event has experienced significant growth, consolidating itself as one of the state’s marathons of reference for both national and international runners. Thanks to this collaboration, the event has been able to improve in key aspects such as the experience of the participants or the international projection of the race.

“We are proud to continue supporting the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián. Our commitment to sport and to values such as perseverance and effort drives us to continue supporting this race, which annually attracts thousands of runners to the charming city of San Sebastian”.
Silvia Heras, Zurich Seguros’ Customer Office Manager

Íñigo Olaizola, Director of the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián, highlighted that the continuity of Zurich Seguros as title sponsor allows them to continue growing and offering runners an unbeatable experience year after year: ‘Their support has been key in the development and success of the event’.

With this renewal, the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián will continue its path towards excellence, remaining a benchmark in the panorama of the great European marathons and offering runners from all over the world the opportunity to enjoy a spectacular route through the capital of Gipuzkoa. The next edition of the race will have a distance of 42km.
