The Azkoitia-Azpeitia Half Marathon is a 21.097 km road race connecting the towns of Azkoitia and Azpeitia in the province of Gipuzkoa, Basque Country. Known as 'the half marathon of the heart,' the event blends elite and amateur athletics in a festive atmosphere. The mostly asphalt course is recognized for its speed, making it a target for runners seeking to improve their personal bests. The organizers limit the number of available bibs, creating high demand and quick sell-outs, which underscores its popularity. The race pays tribute to Diego García, adding an emotional dimension to the competition. Despite its demanding distance, the accessible route appeals to experienced runners and those looking for a meaningful challenge in their sporting calendar.
