About the Bilbao Night Half Marathon
Bilbao's night running festival puts the half and 10K on the streets together after dark. The half uses one circuit while the marathon repeats it, giving the 21K its own cleaner pacing and finish experience.
Course
The evening route begins near San Mames and runs through central Bilbao toward a finish by the Guggenheim Museum. The course is internationally measured, and the half has 2:45 to complete one city loop. Bands and DJs are part of the setup rather than incidental roadside entertainment.
Race-day weather
October nights in Bilbao are usually mild enough for racing, but Atlantic rain and wet pavement are common risks. Temperatures tend to ease after sunset, while humidity can keep the air feeling heavier than the thermometer suggests.
