The Gran Bahía Vig-Bay Half Marathon is a road race held in Vigo, located in Galicia’s Pontevedra province, typically in April. Participants can choose between a half marathon covering 21.0975 km or a shorter 10.5 km race. Both distances feature a single-loop course, offering a point-to-point running experience rather than multiple laps.
The course highlights Vigo’s urban streets and the coastal scenery surrounding the bay, featuring landmarks and ocean vistas. The event also serves as a well-rounded race weekend. Runners might explore the Casco Vello, known for its narrow streets and tapas establishments, relax at Playa de Samil, or visit Baiona, a seaside town approximately 30 minutes away by car. The Cies Islands, accessible by ferry, provide an additional option for hiking or a peaceful day by the sea. The event also contributes to a charitable cause.
