Recurring 5K races near San Sebastián
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Carrera de las Empresas
Cap en rose - Capbreton
Cap en rose is a Pink October solidarity walk and run in Capbreton, on the Landes coast of southwest France. It begins at the Halles, the covered market on Allées Marines, sending a wave of pink through the town streets. The event supports women affected by breast cancer, with proceeds going to Hope Team East, a local association that uses sport to help improve the health of people living with cancer.
This is not a timed race; participation is emphasized over pace. Entrants can choose a 10 km run, a 5 km walk or run, or the free 1 km Péchounets race for children. The city of Capbreton organizes it with Hope Team East, and the field is deliberately broad: families, walkers, runners, first-timers, and supporters all share the same start area. Registration is handled before race day, with online sign-up and a final in-person window the day before.
Carrera Solidaria de Navarra
The Carrera Solidaria de Navarra is a charity run held in Pamplona, the capital of Navarra in northern Spain. Its listed race format is a 10 km run, a standard road race, not a multi-day trail event or a festival with many distances. The event schedule is not fixed in the listing, and runners can sign up for notifications via the event page.
The race is associated with the Universidad de Navarra, with its main campus in Pamplona. This provides a campus-city setting rather than a purely tourist route. The university is a large private institution with thousands of students and staff, and its red color is part of its identity. Available details are practical: the race has multiple organizing entities, an official web presence, and pending results/classifications when the next edition is listed.
Hendaye en rose
Hendaye en rose is a Pink October sports and solidarity program in Hendaye, featuring a 5 km walk and a 6 km run. It takes place during October, the breast-cancer awareness month. Hendaye Commerce and local shopkeepers organize the town’s campaign, allowing participation on foot rather than solely offering support from afar.
The program also includes conferences, longe cote, and Nordic walking, extending beyond a single start line. Hendaye Commerce and Cherie FM have supported the breast-cancer campaign for several years, involving local associations, residents, and businesses. Funds raised are donated to research, providing the event with a clear purpose beyond the run and walk.
Marche nordique du pignada - Anglet
The Marche nordique du Pignada is a timed Nordic walking event held in Anglet. It begins at 10 AM from the Orak Bat stadium. The event is organized by the Nordic walking section of Aviron Bayonnais Athlétisme. Participants can choose between a 6.5 km course or a forest route of approximately 11.5 to 12.5 km.
The routes traverse the Pignada forest. The shorter course consists of a single loop, while the longer timed course involves two loops within the woods. This is the event's fourth edition. It maintains a club atmosphere, with each participant receiving a souvenir gift. Following the walk, attendees are invited to a potluck, where participants contribute a dish or drink to share.
Lekitto Bixirik Herri Krosa
The Lekitto Bixirik Herri Krosa begins and ends at the port in Lekeitio, a coastal town in Bizkaia. It is a short local road race, typically held in early November, covering a 5.5 km circuit through the town streets.
The participant field is strongly local; in the reported race, 100 of the 152 classified runners were from the area. Local triathlete Mikel Arrasate won in 17:10, ahead of local runner Aner Larreategi in 17:41 and Jokin Etxebarria in 18:05. Klaudia Erkiaga of Lekeitio led the women in 21:42, followed by Alaitz Kortabitarte of Lekeitio and Lide Roman of Durango.
15 km Donostia - San Sebastián
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.
15 km Salto Donostia - San Sebastian - Saint-Sébastien
Runners begin at the stadium's base and conclude inside it for the 15 km Salto Donostia - San Sebastian, a road race held in October in San Sebastian, Spain. The primary race is 15 km at 10:00, preceded by a 5 km run at 09:30 and a distinct 15 km rollers and handbike competition. 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.
Las Murallas de Pamplona
Las Murallas de Pamplona is a night running series in Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, held every year since 2013. Its name comes straight from the route: runners follow almost the whole line of the city’s old defensive walls, including the Citadel. The main race menu is simple: Fortín is 6 km, Ciudadela is 10 km, and Murallas is 15 km, though the longest option has used 18 km and 20 km routes in earlier editions. The event is organized by Club Kirol Bat Triatloi Taldea, and the city center closes to traffic while the races are on.
The course gives the race a very Pamplona-specific shape, passing places such as the Puerta del Socorro at the Citadel instead of using a generic road loop. It is a popular race with serious numbers: some editions have drawn more than 3,000 runners, and one came close to 4,000. A children’s race was added after the first few editions, with part of its entry money going to charities such as the Bone Marrow Donors Association of Navarre and UNHCR. The adult races award trophies to the top three finishers in each category, while the low entry fees and multiple distances make the night open to both casual runners and people chasing a place.
15 km Donostia - San Sebastián
The 15 km Donostia - San Sebastián is a road race held in San Sebastián, on Spain’s Basque coast, typically in late October. The primary event is La Clásica Salto 15K DSS, accompanied by a 5 km race on the same day for those seeking a shorter distance. This city-and-coast race welcomes handisport participants and is eligible for record-setting.
The 15 km route consists of one full circuit through San Sebastián, and the 5 km also follows a single-loop format. The prior edition attracted over 3,000 participants, indicating it is a busy city race rather than a small local run. Finishers ranks the 15 km as the most renowned race in its category, and the event is part of a broader Basque Country race circuit featuring several other San Sebastián events.
La Conquista de la Almendra
La Conquista de la Almendra is a solidarity road race in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, offering 5K and 10K distances. The course follows the perimeter of the city’s old quarter, shaped like an almond, which inspired the race's name. This event takes place in autumn, welcoming recreational runners alongside competitive club athletes.
The race incorporates the old city as a central theme, with participants crossing a route connected to Vitoria-Gasteiz’s medieval past. Founded in 1181, the city's history is intentionally referenced by the event. Official race details are provided in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, Catalan, Euskera, and Galego, reflecting an effort to attract participants from various linguistic backgrounds.
Vitoria Night Run
Vitoria Night Run is a night running event held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava. Participants can choose between 10 km and 5 km distances. Both races are described as non-competitive, focusing on participation rather than official placings.
Giroa Veolia organizes the event. The race website refers to it as a "carrerón," a Spanish term for a significant race. Information for the upcoming edition is still being released. Runners can sign up for notifications when the date is confirmed. The event pages will provide access to results, classifications, streaming, and contact details after the race is completed.

About 5K races in San Sebastián
Donostia Training Notes
San Sebastián hosts 44 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the city by the water first. Paseo de la Concha gives you 7 km along the sea, and it feels like base miles with a view. Urgull gives you 2 km up to Castillo de la Mota when you want a short punch. Ulia gives you 8 km through Mount Ulia when singletrack legs matter. Monte Igueldo gives you 10 km with a real slope. Real Sociedad and CHH Txuri Urdin sit in the local club scene. Maratón de San Sebastián, Media Maratón de San Sebastián, 15 km Donostia - San Sebastián, and Behobia-San Sebastián are the anchor races.
Locals ride out from Donostia on bidegorris, and the city has 30 km of them. Vuelta Donostia gives you 50 km around the city with rural lanes, parks, forests, the Urumea River, Herrera docks, and Ulia cliffs. Leizarán and Plazaola Greenway, Ulzama and Basaburua valleys, and Bidasoa Greenway make good Z2 days. Mount Jaizkibel is where the climbing gets serious. The San Sebastián to Leitza stage covers 47 km and gains 710 meters. Clásica de San Sebastián is the anchor event, and BiziKrosa keeps the cyclocross crowd honest.
Summer gives Donostia its driest, sunniest training block. Locals use July and August for early runs on La Concha and steady rides before the beach crowds fill the day. August averages 22°C, so intervals still work if you start clean and keep the route simple. Mid-September to mid-November is the sweet spot for riding, with morning averages about 15 degrees and coastal roads quieter. January averages 8°C, and winter turns runs toward city loops, Urgull reps, and Ulia trail options. Cyclists keep base miles close, then head inland when the day opens.
