The Brazilian firm of high performance sports footwear joins the Alicante race in the Half Marathon and 10K distances.

The Benidorm Half and Olympikus, the internationally recognized Brazilian sports footwear brand, reached an agreement for the high-performance sneakers company to become the official sponsor of the 2025 edition of the Half Marathon and 10K, to be held in the city of tourism par excellence on November 22.

The agreement reinforces the international positioning of the Benidorm Half as one of the most important races in the Spanish and international national calendar, representing the strategic landing of Olympikus in the European running market.

Olympikus is Brazil’s largest sports footwear brand, which in 2025 celebrates 50 years of experience in the development of high-performance running shoes. With a strong presence in Latin America, Olympikus is known for integrating technology, comfort and design into its products, with proprietary and exclusive technologies such as Eleva+, Gripper and Oxitec, designed specifically to improve runners’ performance.

With this new sponsorship, the Benidorm Half and Olympikus join forces to consolidate Benidorm as the epicenter of international running in the province of Alicante and the Valencian Community. The incorporation of Olympikus as an official sponsor reinforces the commitment of the Benidorm Half with excellence and innovation in the sports field.

Fernando Brotons, director of the Benidorm Half, considers that “having Olympikus as one of our official sponsors is a significant step for the growth of the Benidorm Half”.

The Benidorm Half 2025 will have, as usual, two distances approved by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation: 10K and 21K, running through the most emblematic places of the city of Benidorm, as well as the old town or its promenade. The Benidorm Half, organized by Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas, has experienced a remarkable growth in recent years, consolidating itself as a reference event in the national and international calendar of popular races.

In the last edition, the race gathered more than 6,500 runners from 46 Spanish provinces and 25 countries, highlighting the presence of British athletes and the inclusion of Olympic and Paralympic figures.

The organization of the Benidorm Half 2025, in collaboration with Visit Benidorm, will be at The National Running Show Birmingham, in the United Kingdom, on January 25 and 26. A large number of runners from British lands participate in each edition of the Benidorm Half Marathon.

The latest proof of this is in the opening of registrations for the Benidorm competition for 2025, on November 22, since of the 2,000 tickets purchased in the first 24 hours, 1,108 were from residents of the United Kingdom.

Benidorm Half and Visit Benidorm, located at stand M49, will be able to explain the benefits of both the city of tourism par excellence and its sports offer, in this case focused on running. Thus, The National Running Show Birmingham is the perfect place for such an objective.

The expectations that were had regarding those first 24 hours have been more than met. And the numbers for a great race are being considered. The Benidorm Half grows year after year. Of course, this means that the organization is working to improve the experience of the runners with each edition,” say the race directors Fernando Brotons and Daniel Artíguez.

As always, we try to prepare the best possible experience for the runners in the Benidorm Half, both in the 21K and the 10K, for the citizens, who we hope will become increasingly involved in the event, and for all the collaborating institutions and brands,” explain Fernando Brotons and Daniel Artíguez, race directors and CEOs of Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas.

“A new participation record was set in 2024, with the arrival of 6,500 runners from 25 different countries, and with a very notable fact being the fact that 43.1% came to Spain from a specific country, the United Kingdom. For the 2025 edition, we hope that the number of entrants will continue to grow, which already places us with a label of a great race; and that we can continue to maintain the general commitment to how this event is understood, which has already been held for three editions with elite figures,” they point out.
