The test organized by the Department of Sports of this municipality in collaboration with the Athletics Federation of the Valencian Community. The race with an approved track of 1.609 meters, had a wide participation since athletes of all categories took part, from prebenjamines to veterans, being a valid test for the absolute autonomic championship.
The race was held under uncomfortable conditions, as it blew a very annoying wind, which in certain places had against the athletes. The 1.609 meters were divided into 4 laps on the same circuit, this made the layout very demanding for the participants, since in each change of direction they had to put a lot of force so that the rhythm did not break.

The Dianense club also participated in the "Mitja Marató Ciutat de Gandía", one of the most important events of the popular racing calendar of the Region of Valencia.

It runs through the maritime area of the city a few meters from the sea and the imposing beach of Gandia.
