Course De La Bixintxo-Briscous - Ciboure 2027

The Course de la Bixintxo is a short winter race connected to the Bixintxo, the St Vincent festival that begins the festive season in the Basque Country. It is associated with Briscous and Ciboure, with the race commencing in Ciboure at 10:00 and spanning approximately 12 to 12.8 km. The Comité des Fêtes de Briscous arranges the Briscous race as part of the local festivities. The route includes woods, fields, road sections, and higher ground, offering runners a varied course instead of a flat town circuit. The broader Bixintxo festivities feature patronal festivals in Briscous, Ciboure, and Hendaye, integrating the race into a local Basque weekend rather than presenting it as an isolated sports event.
