A Picture-Perfect Route: The race is famous for its stunning course. Forget about challenging hills and monotonous landscapes. Here, every stride is a visual treat. The iconic 10k circuit starts on Satrustegi Street, facing Ondarreta beach. The route then takes you along the world-famous La Concha bay, offering breathtaking views of Santa Clara Island. After passing through the city center, you’ll cross the Kursaal bridge into the Gros neighborhood to run along the entire Zurriola beach, a hotspot for surfers. The finish line is on the Paseo Eduardo Chillida, near the famous Peine del Viento sculpture.
