Bayonne Base Miles

Bayonne hosts 75 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the Nive greenway when they want steady Z2 without drama. The Nive greenway carries you 13 km from the centre of Bayonne to Ustaritz, and the rhythm stays easy beside the water. Pédros quay works well for a short shakeout along the Adour River. René Gassin public garden gives you a clean link onto the Vélodyssée when legs want more. Aviron Bayonnais anchors the scene, and Avirun brings 5 km, 10 km, and a semi through the heart of Bayonne. Course des remparts de Bayonne and Foulées du Festayre keep the calendar honest.

Locals ride the river first, then point the bike toward the coast or the hills. Bayonne has nearly 40 kilometers of cycle paths, so base miles come easy before work. The Vélodyssée runs toward Biarritz, and the Bayonne to Biarritz route covers 16 km with 108 m up and 95 m down. The Bayonne to Urt circuit gives you a 35-kilometre round trip with a moderate feel. The Bayonne - Villefranque - Ustaritz greenway reaches Ustaritz in about 50 minutes. Aviron Bayonnais, Denek Bat Bayonne Urcuit, and the Nautical Society of Bayonne sit in the local club mix. The real climbs sit south toward the Pre-Pyrenees, Mount Baigura, Iparla ridges, and Jaizkibel.

Spring and autumn suit Bayonne best because the legs get workable temps and fewer winter-style interruptions. Locals use those months for intervals on the flat river lines and longer rides toward Urt or Biarritz. The record low hit 6°C on 4 August 2003. The Atlantic sits 6 km west of the city, and sand running stays a very specific exercise when you add the beaches. Winter averages around 8°C, and short, intense thunderstorms can change a run or ride fast. Locals keep the Pédros quay, Nive greenway, and cycle paths close when the weather turns.
