Media Maratón Azkoitia-Azpeitia

The Azkoitia-Azpeitia Half Marathon is a 21.097 km road race connecting the towns of Azkoitia and Azpeitia in the province of Gipuzkoa, Basque Country. Known as 'the half marathon of the heart,' the event blends elite and amateur athletics in a festive atmosphere. 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. The race pays tribute to Diego García, adding an emotional dimension to the competition. Despite its demanding distance, the accessible route appeals to experienced runners and those looking for a meaningful challenge in their sporting calendar.

Azkoitia-Azpeitia international Half marathon

The Azkoitia-Azpeitia is a half marathon held in Gipuzkoa, within the Spanish Basque Country, crossing the route between the towns of Azkoitia and Azpeitia. It is an open event; participants must be over 14 years old and are welcome regardless of sex, nationality, or club affiliation. 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.

Ahuntzen Mendi Lasterketa

The Ahuntzen Mendi Lasterketa is a mountain race held in Elgeta, Gipuzkoa. The course covers 21 kilometers with a cumulative elevation gain of 1,200 meters, offering a demanding route through the Basque natural landscape. Designed for experienced trail runners, the race features significant elevation changes and technical terrain typical of mountain events in the region. The route winds through mountain trails and paths, providing panoramic views of the Gipuzkoan countryside. Organizers provide strategic aid stations to support participants throughout the race, along with chip timing for accurate results. The town of Elgeta, in the heart of Euskadi, hosts this event, attracting runners seeking both a physical challenge and immersion in nature.

Otso Media Maratón Getxo: toda la información - Aupa Mikel

The Otso Media Maratón Getxo is a flat road half marathon held in Getxo, Bizkaia. The main race covers 21,097 metres and starts at 09:00. The event also offers 5 km and 10 km races, catering to both those seeking the full half marathon distance and participants preferring a shorter popular race. The course is described as entirely flat and winds past several of Getxo’s notable city monuments. Club Atletico Getxo organizes the race, now in its third edition. Finishers receive a medal, and all participants get a T-shirt. Runner services include showers, cloakroom storage, and bib pickup available before race day or on the morning of the event.

Media Maratón de San Sebastián

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.

Vitoria-Gasteiz Maratón Martín Fiz

The EDP Vitoria-Gasteiz Maraton Martin Fiz 10K is a 10,000-meter road race held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava, Spain. This 10K is part of a race event organized by Ascentium, which also features children’s races. The 10K course is homologated, meaning the distance is officially measured. Participants receive aid stations with liquids, access to toilets, timing services, a cloakroom, physiotherapy support, and trophies for winners in applicable categories.

Sorginen Lasterketa

Sorginen Lasterketa is a mountain race starting and finishing in Plaza de Axpe, Axpe, Atxondo, Bizkaia, at 9:00 AM. This Basque trail event is compact yet steep, offering a 21 km race with approximately 1,750 metres of climbing and an 11.7 km option with about 890 metres of ascent. 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

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.
