10K Bilbao 2027

Set course for the city of Bilbao, crossed by the Nervión estuary 🇪🇸. The lineup of festivities invites you to devour a flagship event on the local calendar, like the legendary Bilbao Night Marathon or the city’s great spring classics. This race launches you over the 10-kilometer distance with a clear goal: light it up in a wild atmosphere. Stash away your fears of the Basque terrain’s hellish climbs—this profile offers you a decidedly urban, extremely fast course along the riverbanks! ⏱️

The asphalt carries you through a spectacular setting that perfectly blends the city’s rich industrial past with its absolute modernism. Your effort will have you picking up speed on wide avenues and especially along the redeveloped quays of the Ría de Bilbao. The immersion forces you to lengthen your stride while marveling at the metallic reflections of the unmissable Guggenheim Museum or the curves of the Zubizuri Bridge. You’ll get the exhilarating sensation of gliding through a true open-air museum, carried by the momentum of a course with no major difficulty all the way to the surge of the big finishing straight 🏙️.

Forget monotonous races—here, the hot blood of the Basques floods the course. Locals pack in behind the barriers to cheer you on with the famous “Aupa!” shouted at the top of their lungs, turning every kilometer into a deafening roar that sends shivers down your spine. An atmosphere of intense emotional release and a huge popular celebration welcomes you under the final arch, where raw effort instantly turns into pure euphoria 🏅.

Save one last hint of appetite to pay heartfelt tribute to one of the best cuisines in the world once your medal is around your neck. Carry your exhausted body into the lively alleys of the Casco Viejo (the old town) to devour a generous round of pintxos meticulously lined up on the counters, all washed down with a good glass of txakoli (the local white wine) or a zurito. Start your stopwatch and come make the Bilbao asphalt tremble! 💥
