The mostly asphalt course is recognized for its speed, making it a target for runners seeking to improve their personal bests. The organizers limit the number of available bibs, creating high demand and quick sell-outs, which underscores its popularity.

Annually, over 1,000 individuals participate, including both international elite athletes and amateur runners sharing the same course. The course is designed for speed, featuring a predominantly downhill path on asphalt through the Urola River valley. Green mountains form the backdrop for much of the race, with the pass before the Loyola Sanctuary serving as a distinct landmark. The race concludes with a long straight section on Azpeitia's streets, where local spectators line the route and offer enthusiastic support. It is held in remembrance of local champion Diego Garcia and is known by the moniker "la media maraton del corazon" — the half marathon of the heart.

SUN APR 11
The San Sebastián Half Marathon takes place in mid-April in Donostia-San Sebastián, on Spain’s Basque coast, offering 10 km and 21.0975 km distances. This is a city road race designed for speed: the course is flat, at sea level, and fast enough to attract strong elite runners and those aiming for personal bests. The setting is straightforward for racing, as the course utilizes the city’s streets, waterfront, and central neighborhoods rather than venturing into the countryside. The half marathon route goes by La Concha Beach, the promenade, the city center, the old town, and Zurriola Beach. Runners find it very flat and quick, with the bay and the city's east side offering many sights when the pace permits. The local marathon weekend provides additional context: San Sebastián also hosts Spain’s second-oldest marathon, featuring a flat urban course and a same-day 10K, which local leaders highlight as a significant objective for area runners. Spectator support is frequently mentioned in runner feedback, with crowds and fellow participants contributing to a race day suitable for first-timers, club runners, and serious athletes.

Registration is limited to 350 participants. The main race includes four aid stations, is rated medium-to-high difficulty, and has a five-hour time limit. The longer route ascends Anboto, a 1,331 m peak that defines the race's sharp mountain character. The shorter route reaches the Larrano area, around 980 m. The participants include both skilled mountain runners and regular trail runners. The 21 km race is part of the Durangal series. The event, now in its later editions, is a well-established fixture in the Basque trail running calendar, maintaining a community feel rather than a large-scale event atmosphere.
Bilbao Night Running Fest
SAT OCT 16
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.

About Half Marathon races in Vitoria-Gasteiz

Vitoria-Gasteiz Training Notes

Vitoria-Gasteiz hosts 11 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running close to the parks, with El Prado park as the easy social spot and Salburua park for a greener reset. The Sports Service of the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council runs Sunday Quedadas deportivas, and the running sessions use El Prado park at 11:00 AM. The Sunday Quedadas deportivas fill the easy group slot for basic-level runners without fuss. Route names stay practical here, like polideportivo cabriana, aerobico, Poligono, vuelta corta a mendi, Miranda - Piscinas Lantaron, and vuelta de 3,5 km. The vuelta de 3,5 km route covers 76 km with 11 m of gain. The anchor targets are Maratón Martín Fiz 2026, Vitoria Night Run, Carrera de las Empresas, La Conquista de la Almendra, and Carrera de la Mujer de Vitoria.

Cyclists get a city built for steady base miles, with bike-path choice shaping the day more than any single named route in the brief. The city route calculator assigns a cycling difficulty level to each street based on bike path type and vehicle traffic. The Old Quarters add the punch, because their street steepness is part of the route calculation. Los Montes de Vitoria sit as the obvious place to think about climbing legs, BTT work, and harder Z2. The brief names no cycling club, so the race calendar carries the social pull. Prueba Ciclista Vitoria, Prueba Cicloturista Vitoria, Ironman Vitoria-Gasteiz, Marcha BTT Mercedes-Benz, and Los Montes de Vitoria work as anchor events.

May, June, July, August, September, and October are the clean training months here, with enough daylight for intervals before work and Z2 after. July and August are Spain’s hottest months, but Vitoria-Gasteiz still gets warm days with cool nights, so early runs and evening spins make sense. September generally gives the best cycling weather of the year, and October still keeps plenty of rhythm. Winters hit cooler than the lowland coastal areas, and the first snow falls in the mountains during November. Runners keep using El Prado park and Salburua park, while cyclists get pickier with wind, rain, and mountain plans.
