Javi Guerra, ambassador 42K

Javi Guerra becomes the new ambassador 42K. The Segovian athlete is going to collaborate with 42K and it will be the image of one of the new collections of technical shirts that will be released in 2023.

For 42K It is a great honor to have among its sports-ambassadors the four-time champion of Spain and one of the great references of the great Spanish fondo of the XNUMXst century.

Javi Guerra, four times Spanish marathon champion

On April 16, he won his fourth Spanish champion title at the Zaragoza marathon (ten years after winning it for the first time in La Coruña), distinguishing himself as the dominator of the Spanish marathon for the last decade, a discipline in which he has various participations in world and European.

Javi Guerra's great sporting objective is the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The classification for the next Olympic event will be decided in the next Seville marathon, which will take place on February 18, 2024 and will host the Spanish Distance Championship.

Javi Guerra will look for the minimum in Seville to qualify for an Olympic event for the third time (he was an Olympian in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020). In the Seville capital he has experienced great sporting moments (he won his second and third Spanish champion title there in 2018 and 2020, the latter with his personal best of 2:07:27) and his determination is to prepare thoroughly this year to achieve there the right to be an Olympian in Paris 2024.

More than two decades in the elite

Javi Guerra (Segovia, 1983) has been in the elite of national and international athletics for more than two decades. His international sports curriculum began in the junior category with 9th place in the 2001 European Cross Country Championship, which earned him a place to compete in the Junior World Championship that same year. A year later he was summoned for the World Junior Athletics Championship in the 5.000 meter event (15th).

Between 2005 and 2010 he defended the colors of Spain in various world and European cross country. In 2009 he climbed to the top of the podium in the Spanish 10-kilometer route championship and in 2013 he registered his name for the first time in the list of Spanish marathon champions, a list of awards in which his name appears four times: La Coruna 2013, Seville 2018, Seville 2020 and Zaragoza 2023.

Javi Guerra's sporting longevity has a family history in his father, Paco Guerra, who managed to be the Spanish cross country champion in Amorebieta at the age of 40. The story of Paco Guerra is surprising because he left athletics at the age of 23 and returned seven years later to once again rub shoulders with the best national cross-country runners and become international in the European cross country.
