Want to burn rubber on the Spanish asphalt? ๐ช๐ธ
Join us at the Hondarribia 10K, a road race located in the beautiful province of Guipuzcoa, in the Basque Country. ๐ช๐ธ For this sporty getaway scheduled for the end of April, the organization pulls out all the stops with an intense day โก๏ธ. You have a date with a 10 km king event ๐, officially certified, featuring a particularly flat and fast ๐ช profile. With only a few meters of positive elevation (around 30 mD+), it's the perfect playground if you're looking to break your personal stopwatch โฑ๏ธ. No technical traps here, just a 100% road course where you can go for it without worrying about your ankles ๐.
The course is a true gem ๐ธ. You'll pass through historically rich locations, starting with the Marine district ๐๏ธ with its typical houses and colorful balconies ๐. You'll pass through the famous San Pedro street before running along the Txingudi Bay ๐, where you'll spot Hendaye on the other side of the Bidassoa River. ๐ The course also guides you near the medieval ramparts of the old town ๐ฐ, one of the best-preserved in the region. You'll be running on high-quality pavement, but keep some awareness to admire the massive silhouette of Mount Jaizkibel dominating the horizon โฐ๏ธ. It's concrete, solid, and above all, a total immersion into Basque heritage without ever leaving the road out of sight ๐.
Behind the scenes, several city districts turn into real fan zones to cheer you to the finish line ๐. We don't skimp on the entertainment: expect to encounter local music groups ๐ถ and enjoy refreshments that have a local flavor ๐. Once the finish line is crossed, the celebration continues with convivial moments where we share the effort over local specialties ๐ฅ.
For the 'after-run', we advise you to mix it up to loosen your legs ๐ฆต. Take your family to explore the trails of the Plaiaundi ecological park ๐ณ for a relaxing nature outing. If you still have energy, the climb to the Guadalupe sanctuary โช๏ธ offers an exceptional view of the coast without being an exhausting ascent ๐ค. Culture enthusiasts will happily get lost in the cobbled streets of the Casco Viejo to admire the Zuloaga Palace or the Santa Marรญa de la Asunciรณn Church ๐. And for complete relaxation, nothing beats a short ferry trip โด๏ธ to Hendaye Beach for a restorative swim ๐โโ๏ธ.
In summary, lace up your sneakers and get ready to run by the water! ๐
The course of the 10 km is designed as a super-fast loop that highlights the coastline of the Basque Country ๐. You start from the stadium ๐๏ธ, by the Bidassoa. From the first kilometers, you can feel the course is designed for performance ๐ช: the asphalt is wide and, most importantly, the terrain is almost flat! There is barely 30 mD+ throughout the entire loop ๐.
