Join Zurich San Sebastián Marathon
THERE ARE MANY MARATHONS, SAN SEBASTIÁN JUST ONE
The Zurich Maratón San Sebastián is much more than a sporting event. San Sebastián, home to the second-oldest marathon in Spain. It has everything you would expect from a weekend of sports tourism. It is a mass event with thousands of participants in search of an amazing personal experience in one of the most beautiful cities on Earth.
San Sebastian is quite a small town with around 180,000 habitants and it is known worldwide thanks to its unique gastronomy and beauty.
Located in the Basque Country, in the north of Spain, on the Cantabrian Sea and just 20 km from France, San Sebastian hosts one of the oldest marathons in Europe, the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián. The race welcomes about 7,000 runners each year.
The city is open, inclusive and has a cosmopolitan spirit. Its character and tradition, a past steeped in the Belle Époque that has left its mark in its architecture, its culture and its world-famous cuisine.
This unique journey starts when you sign up for the race and ends when you cross the finish line. You are all welcome, from Gipuzkoan women to men who come from the other side of the world. Together with hundreds of volunteers, performers, medical professionals, physiotherapists and citizens, every single one of you helps make the Zurich Maratón San Sebastián a unique experience in San Sebastián, a place like no other.
A pollution-free town, at sea level, San Sebastian offers all runners the chance to enjoy a perfect weekend in a touristic town where they can visit, among others, the famous La Concha beach, rated in the last few years as the Best European Beach. The race goes along this impressive beach, giving the runners a unique breath-taking feeling.
Three distances are available on the same day; 10K, 21K and 42K.
The route is flat and ideal for those runners who want to try the marathon distance for the first time.
The experience of running in San Sebastian is never disappointing. Nor is the visit to a town which can be visited in just a few hours. Its charms fascinate visitors and so do the traditional pintxos or tapas available in the hundreds of bars to be found in the Old Town.
During the weekend of the Marathon one can really feel a very athletic atmosphere. Back in 1977 San Sebastian hosted the indoor European Athletics Championship in Anoeta Velodrome, where the marathon sets up its Welcome Area nowadays. The town also hosted the World Marathon Cup in 1993 and current Spain’s Women marathon record was achieved in San Sebastian. Special mention should also go to San Sebastian International Cross, where Zátopek gathered 40,000 spectators some decades ago. San Sebastian is one of the towns with the greatest athletic tradition worldwide.
