Valencia — December 7, 2025 — The 45th edition of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich delivered spectacular numbers: more than 36,000 runners registered, representing 150 different nationalities and 67% of participants coming from abroad.
This year, the city once again established itself as the world capital of running, and BIKKOA® did not want to miss this historic edition. Our presence as a brand — with a booth in the expo area and product displays — became a key point of reference for national and international runners looking to optimize their visual performance ahead of the race.
A global marathon: diversity and record participation
- The 2025 Valencia Marathon brought together athletes from 150 countries,
reaffirming its international character. - Many runners traveled from abroad to compete, making this edition one of the most cosmopolitan to date.
- The mild December temperatures in Valencia, along with a flat and optimized course, consolidate it each year as one of the best options on the calendar for those seeking a personal best.
BIKKOA® in action: full acceptance of our running glasses
At our booth, we premiered the new running glasses models GOAT, NÉXORA, and VYROX. The response was more than
positive:
- Many runners took advantage of the runner’s fair to try the glasses — especially choosing the NÉXORA and VYROX models.
- They highlighted the lightness, stable fit, and comfort during running: three key aspects for a marathon.
- Several attendees said they considered them “the ideal glasses for running 42 km without visual discomfort.”
- Thanks to this reception, we have strengthened our branding: BIKKOA® is already known as a “reference running glasses” among national and international runners.
This kind of feedback is key for us: it shows that technical design and the commitment to quality materials and lenses have their place in real competitive running.
The high-level race that confirms its global status
The 2025 Valencia Marathon stood out not only for its mass of runners: it was once again established as an elite event. Among the most notable highlights:
- The race featured outstanding performances by international athletes, including national records — reinforcing the competitive level of the event.
- The urban circuit, flat and fast, with ideal weather and a finish in the iconic City of Arts and Sciences area, continues to attract high-level runners seeking to improve their times.
For BIKKOA®, this context was perfect: a high-performance setting where our glasses could prove their value under real race conditions.
Conclusion: why running glasses matter in a marathon
Participating in an elite marathon like Valencia demands the utmost from the body — and also from the senses. Running glasses are not a secondary accessory: they are a performance tool. Comfortable, stable, lightweight glasses with quality optics can make the difference in those final kilometers where concentration, vision, and comfort are already pushed to the limit.
This 2025, BIKKOA® has taken a step forward: our glasses have been tested at the international running elite level, with real acceptance from runners worldwide. And that fills us with pride: it shows that our commitment to visual performance is solid, effective, and valued.
We leave Valencia with the conviction to keep improving, to keep innovating… and with our eyes set on the next marathon.
