What is the Gran Premio Internacional de Atletismo «Ciutat de València» 2027
The Gran Premio Internacional de Atletismo «Ciutat de València» 2027 is an indoor athletics competition that is part of the winter calendar for the sport. Organised by the Federació d’Atletisme de la Comunitat Valenciana, this event acts as a key preparation and benchmark for the 2027 European Athletics Indoor Championships, which will be held at the same venue from 4 to 7 March 2027.
Who is taking part
The event brings together elite athletes, both national and international, competing in sprints, jumps, throws, and middle-distance races. While no specific names have been confirmed yet, the competition has historically featured European and Olympic medallists. The event is aimed at professionals, though the Palau Velòdrom Lluís Puig also hosts school-level categories in other federation events.
Schedule and programme
The event will take place on 28 January 2027 in the evening, between 17:00 and 21:00. The programme includes classic indoor track disciplines: 60m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m, 60m hurdles, high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and 4x400m relays. The duration of each event varies, but the format typically includes qualifying rounds and finals in a single day.
Access and requirements
Admission is free for the public, though it is not specified whether advance booking is required or if entry is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. The Palau Velòdrom Lluís Puig, the traditional venue for the event, has seating for several thousand spectators. No age restrictions are mentioned, but visitors are advised to check the federation’s website for any updates.
