Avirun 2026

Bib pickup will take place at Stade Jean-Dauger, in the race village, on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 May 2026.

Exact opening hours will be shared a few weeks before race day on this page and by email to registered runners.

Yes—provided you present a copy of their ID and their registration confirmation.
We cannot hand out bibs without these documents.

• A valid official ID (national ID card, passport, driver’s license).

• Your registration confirmation received by email.

• For runners who are not FFA-licensed: a medical certificate or a valid PPS (Parcours Prévention Santé) on the day of the event.

No, it isn’t mandatory. However, you must provide a PPS certificate dated less than three months before race day.

The PPS replaces the medical certificate for road running in France. PPS stands for Parcours de Prévention Santé: a four-step online awareness pathway covering health risks, precautions, and recommendations for runners.

Refund conditions are detailed in the race rules.

If you selected the flexibility option when registering, you have until M-1 (24/04/26) to cancel your entry for any reason. This allows you to receive a partial refund equal to 80% of the entry fee (excluding processing fees).
No bib transfers are allowed.

Join AVIRUN and enjoy a unique experience in Bayonne, at the heart of a city of sport, history, and nature. AVIRUN is a genuine challenge—accessible to recreational runners as well as dedicated athletes chasing a PB.

Starting from the Palais des Sports de Lauga, a major venue for Bayonne sport events, the routes will take you toward the Floride district and then through the streets and moats of the old town, between ramparts and traditional Basque façades. The courses wind through the lanes, moats, and historic areas of Petit and Grand Bayonne, offering a true journey into the city’s heritage—ramparts, Basque architecture, and beautiful viewpoints included. Expect a vibrant race-day atmosphere, fueled by Bayonne’s sporting spirit.

Over 21.0975 km, the half-marathon alternates technical sections and faster stretches, with 203 m of elevation gain and 189 m of descent. Part of the course will be run as a loop to keep the route 100% within Bayonne, with an approximately 6 km section to be completed twice.
You’ll also enjoy long, runnable segments along the Nive and the Adour—perfect to settle into your pace—plus crossings over three iconic bridges: Henri-Grenet, Charles-Vaillant, and Pont Blanc.

This variety of terrain keeps the course lively and never monotonous, mixing short climbs, technical passages, and long straights where you can really open your stride.

All three races end with an emotional finish—especially thanks to a spectacular final stretch inside Stade Jean-Dauger, the home of Bayonne rugby. A lively, festive race village awaits to keep the AVIRUN experience going.

The 5K (39 m elevation gain) and 10K (111 m elevation gain) are adapted versions of the half-marathon route.
