Recurring 10K races near Bilbao
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
10K de Castro Urdiales
The 10K de Castro Urdiales is a 10-kilometre road race held in Castro Urdiales, organized by Club Correcastro. Runners begin at Parque Amestoy in the morning. The event attracts over 500 athletes, and the competition at the front can be intense. In one past edition, four men reached the halfway point together, with the winner decided in the final kilometre.
The course is exposed to the elements, and heat and strong south winds have impacted runners in previous races. A tradition involves inviting a well-known athlete as the event patron; double world marathon champion Abel Anton served in this capacity and received a trophy from Club Correcastro president Jose Mari Uncilla. Olympic medalist Jose Manuel Abascal was the announcer. Andoni Acebedo won the race, breaking away with one kilometre remaining to finish in 31:56, closely followed by Rodrigo Senovilla in 31:58 and Diego Pascual in 32:03.
Cross 3 Playas
Cross 3 Playas is a 10-kilometer race in Donostia / San Sebastián that follows the city’s three beaches. It is a flat urban run, suitable for experienced runners seeking a steady rhythm and for newer runners wanting a straightforward course without climbs.
The route stays close to the coast, offering a beach-by-beach view of the city instead of heading into the hills surrounding San Sebastián. It is one of the older races in the city, having reached more than thirty editions. Recent fields have also stood out for their gender balance: more than half of the 10K entrants are women, with female registrations ahead of male registrations for a second straight edition.
Bilbao Night Running Fest
The Bilbao Night Running Fest guides participants through Bilbao after dark, beginning at San Mamés and concluding at the Guggenheim. The event features two options: a 21K half marathon and the 10K Pirate Race, catering to those seeking a substantial city run or a brief evening challenge.
The course follows a city circuit on major avenues, differing from a secluded out-and-back path. Pyrotechnics, live entertainment, and numerous onlookers contribute to a festive atmosphere, distinct from typical road races. The city's football stadium and art museum define the course's start and end points.
Txara Trail
Txara Trail is a mountain running event in Markina-Xemein, Bizkaia, offering two race distances: a 17.7 km “mountain half marathon” and the 10.5 km Txaramotx run. The longer race involves 1,150 m of climbing, making it much steeper than its distance suggests; the 10.5 km option includes 600 m of ascent. The longer race starts in the morning, followed shortly by the shorter race. Walkers begin earlier on the same 10.5 km and 17.7 km routes.
The event is part of the Bizkaia running calendar, attracting trail runners in the Basque Country seeking a challenging day in the hills around Markina-Xemein. The event also accommodates non-runners through walking options on the same two distances. Prizes are locally focused: winners receive a Basque cap and baskets of local products, with cash awards for the top finishers in the longer race and local-product baskets for the first local finishers. Practical arrangements include parking, showers, and announced route adjustments near the start and finish areas.
Mutriku Herri Krosa
Mutriku Herri Krosa is a 10 km road race starting and finishing in Mutriku, a coastal town in the Basque Country. The route heads out along the coast towards Deba and returns the same way. Runners encounter the climbs and descents twice, in reverse order. The initial section involves a climb before descending into Deba, and the return leg requires runners to ascend what they previously ran downhill.
The race has been held 21 times, attracting a small local field instead of a large mass start. In the reported edition, 65 runners were classified: 59 men and 6 women. Participation from women and from Bizkaia was lower than in previous years. Triathlete Iker Ormaetxea won the men's race, followed by Julen Etxebarria and Mikel Agirrebeña. Nahia Ibarzabal finished first among the women, with Onintza Zeberio and Nora Etxeberria in second and third places.
Antxintxika Lasterketa
The Antxintxika Lasterketa is a 10 km road race held between Soraluze and Bergara in Gipuzkoa. The route is advertised as 10 kilometers but is not officially homologated. It typically takes place in early November with a 17:00 start, functioning as a popular local race rather than an elite-only event. Many runners use it as a final test a week before the B/SS race, particularly athletes and everyday runners from the Alto Deba region.
The course begins in Soraluze town center, descending to a wide paved bidegorri (bike path). This path follows a green route towards Osintxu, crossing the Deba River via a bridge. After a brief road segment, it rejoins the bidegorri for a mostly flat run with minor undulations. The course reaches the lower section of Bergara around the 7 km mark. From there, a corridor of spectators guides runners into the city center finish, providing more crowd energy to the final stretch than the quieter bike path.
Recent participation has seen fields in the low hundreds, with classified runner totals around 294 and 367.
La Conquista de la Almendra
La Conquista de la Almendra is a solidarity road race in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, offering 5K and 10K distances. The course follows the perimeter of the city’s old quarter, shaped like an almond, which inspired the race's name. This event takes place in autumn, welcoming recreational runners alongside competitive club athletes.
The race incorporates the old city as a central theme, with participants crossing a route connected to Vitoria-Gasteiz’s medieval past. Founded in 1181, the city's history is intentionally referenced by the event. Official race details are provided in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, Catalan, Euskera, and Galego, reflecting an effort to attract participants from various linguistic backgrounds.
Vitoria Night Run
Vitoria Night Run is a night running event held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava. Participants can choose between 10 km and 5 km distances. Both races are described as non-competitive, focusing on participation rather than official placings.
Giroa Veolia organizes the event. The race website refers to it as a "carrerón," a Spanish term for a significant race. Information for the upcoming edition is still being released. Runners can sign up for notifications when the date is confirmed. The event pages will provide access to results, classifications, streaming, and contact details after the race is completed.
Ikastegietako Herrikrossa
Bilboko Herri Krosa
Bilboko Herri Krosa is a 10-kilometre popular run through Bilbao, founded on the idea that participation is as important as speed. Approximately 10,000 people participate annually, with a field comprising sports enthusiasts of various ages, not solely dedicated racers.
The course is moderate, utilizing the city’s main thoroughfares, making the race suitable for runners of widely differing experience levels. Its most notable tradition involves honoring the first and last finishers equally, fostering a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere.
Azkoitiko Herri Lasterketa
Azkoitiko Herri Lasterketa is a 10K race held in Azkoitia, Basque Country, connected to the San Andrés feast in late November. It typically takes place on the final Saturday of November, frequently the day before the San Sebastián Marathon, establishing its position in the local end-of-season road-racing schedule.
The race follows a two-lap urban-industrial course. Participants report it as fast, well-organized, and competitive. While the route is not officially certified, times recorded are generally fast enough that homologation would enhance the results' utility. Previous participants also note energetic crowd support along the route, indicating it is more than just a fast 10K on paper; it's a local event with genuine street atmosphere.
Maratón de San Sebastián
The San Sebastián Marathon takes place in November in Spain’s Basque Country, near the French border. Participants can choose between a full marathon and a 10 km race. The weather is typically cool and often rainy, and the course is known as one of Spain’s quicker marathon routes.
The course largely stays within the city center, crossing the Urumea River and running along La Concha Bay. It passes notable sites such as Miramar Palace, the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, and the Sacred Heart statue on Mount Urgull, concluding at Anoeta Stadium. This race originated in the late 1970s, making it Spain’s second oldest marathon. Post-race, runners can explore San Sebastián’s pintxos scene, and a Runner’s Fair is held during race weekend.

About 10K races in Bilbao
Bilbao Training Notes
Bilbao hosts 26 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
The route covers 9km with 66 meters of gain. The city centre makes Z2 simple with waterfront parks, manicured promenades, and long sidewalks. Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park, Etxeberria Park, Miribilla Park, and Europa Parkea handle short loops and weekday intervals. Europa Parkea gives a 2km perimeter loop near Txurdinaga with 67m of gain. The climb is 1km with 716 meters of gain when legs need climbing. Running Club Bilbao meets every Tuesday in the center of Bilbao. Saturday mornings bring 5km and 3km routes around the center. Bilbao Night Running Fest, Hiri Krosa Bilbao, and Carrera Santurce-Bilbao work as anchor races.
Locals ride the Nervión River path when they want an easy cruise, then head into the surrounding Basque hills for a bigger effort. The Bidegorri Barakaldo-Gallarta-Galdames keeps things interesting because the last section turns into a gravel greenway. The Bidegorri Barakaldo-Muskiz suits steady base miles. Barakaldo-Portugalete-Las Arenas-Sopela-Gorliz gives the more daring crowd about 40km toward the coast. Bilbao grupo salidas de Gravel y carretera runs gravel and road rides, with past days toward Mungia, Elordui, Gaztelugatxe, Sollube, Morga, Gernika, Amurrio, Orduña, and Alto Angulo. The Bilbao to Astoreka, Mungia, and Lezama loop covers 71km with 490m of gain. The climbs sit in the Basque hills around Artxanda, Avril, Kobetas, Pagasarri, Arraiz, Ganeta, El Vivero, and Ganguren. Orbea Gran Fondo Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bilbao Triathlon, and Marcha del Mamut make good anchor events.
Bilbao stays mild most of the year, so locals can keep running and riding without a huge off-season. Summer feels best for dry work because the Bay of Biscay moderates the heat and average maximums sit around 25°C. July gives the cleanest block for intervals, long rides, and gran fondo prep because rainfall drops to about 20mm. October to April brings the rainiest stretch, and November usually feels the wettest. Winter still works for Z2 because minimum temperatures average between 6°C and 8°C. Sleet shows up more often than snow, about 10 days per year, so locals move some runs to the promenades and some rides to the Bidegorri when the hills get messy.
