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 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 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.

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.
