Marathon races near Durango

The Flysch Trail Zumaia is a trail running event held in Zumaia, on Spain's Basque coast. Participants can choose between a 14 km route and a 24 km route. The shorter race offers a straightforward way to enjoy the local trails, while the longer race is designed around the distinctive cliffs of the coastline. The 24 km course follows the high coastal cliffs for most of its length, with the terrain itself being the primary attraction, rather than urban environments or large venues. The event also directs spectators to optimal viewing spots, provides changing facilities, and shares practical travel and parking details for accessing Zumaia. Runners may use the occasion to explore the nearby Geoparkea area, with lodging and dining information available. The race documents its history through photo archives, news, and pre-event preparation sessions.

The Bilbao Night Running Fest guides participants through Bilbao after dark, beginning at San Mamés and concluding at the Guggenheim.

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.
