The 15 km Donostia - San Sebastián is a road race held in late October in San Sebastián, a Basque coastal city also known as Donostia. The primary event is the 15K, with a 5K offered for those seeking a shorter distance. It accommodates a wide range of participants: individuals aiming for a fast time, runners preparing for longer races, novices, wheelchair athletes, and handbikers are all included. Over 5,000 people start annually, giving it the atmosphere of a city-wide event rather than a small local run. The 15K course begins on Avenida de Madrid and concludes on Paseo de Anoeta. It is entirely within the city, is at sea level, and is closed to traffic, contributing to its reputation as a personal-best course for many. The route passes La Concha promenade, City Hall, the boulevard, Zurriola beach, wide central streets, and narrower old-town lanes. The race also fosters a strong community spirit: a skating club travels from Barañain each year, past champions discuss winning multiple txapelas, and finish-line stories often feature international visitors meeting the time limit and long-time friends still competing together after many years.

The 15 km event draws a substantial field, with the latest recorded results showing 3,892 participants for that distance. The course is designed for speed, described by the organizer as an ultra-fast layout, yet it still offers participants a comprehensive view of Donostia. It proceeds north from the stadium, traces the Urumea river, crosses historic bridges, goes through the city center, and then runs alongside La Concha Bay before incorporating a short, elevated loop for added challenge. The ambiance is distinctly Basque and local, featuring music and hand claps along the route, and the stadium finish provides a defined endpoint, unlike a less distinct seafront conclusion.
