The energy that powers you from the alarm to the finish line of the Zurich Seville Marathon, by TotalEnergies

Crossing the finish line of the Zurich Seville Marathon is not a matter of four hours of effort; it is the result of a perfect combination between your determination and the energy surrounding you. While you get ready to conquer the streets of Seville, there is a silent force working to make every stride count, an invisible engine that starts up long before the starting gun.

Your marathon doesn’t begin at Paseo de las Delicias, but in your room when the alarm goes off. That first gesture of turning on the light, the sound of the coffee maker, and the warmth of breakfast that loads your glycogen stores are possible, in part, thanks to the energy that TotalEnergies deploys around Seville. While you tighten your running shoes with nerves on edge, thousands of solar panels are already capturing the first rays of the day to ensure that, when you leave home, the entire city is ready to cheer you on.

Once you're in the race, your body becomes a precision machine seeking maximum efficiency with every watt. Just as you refine your technique to take advantage of the energy return from your shoes, TotalEnergies’ technology works to capture sunlight intelligently and feed it back into the grid, allowing Seville to function while you move forward mile by mile. There is a direct connection between your stride and this renewable energy: both share the obsession of not wasting a single joule of strength on the road to success.

When you reach mile 18 and your legs start to feel heavy, the magnitude of the environment helps you keep going. The monumental effort you make to break through “the wall” is reflected in the immense amount of energy generated just a few miles from the Giralda, at the Guillena solar park. As you cross the finish arch and stop the clock, you feel the satisfaction of achieving your goal in a city that embraces you. It is in that moment when personal effort joins collective commitment to sustainability, confirming that you haven’t just run through the streets of Seville, but you’ve done so powered by an energy that believes in your perseverance and in a more responsible future for the planet.
