Bilbao Night Running Fest

The Bilbao Night Running Fest offers a unique way to experience the city after dark through a nighttime half marathon blending sport with live music and celebration. Starting at San Mamés stadium, runners follow a 21-kilometer route past Bilbao’s most iconic landmarks, finishing at the Guggenheim Museum. If a full half marathon feels like too much, there’s also a 10-kilometer Pirate Race happening simultaneously. Along the route, live bands and DJs keep the energy high, making the run feel less like a race and more like a moving festival. This event suits anyone who enjoys mixing fitness with a lively atmosphere and local culture. The music provides a rhythmic boost that helps maintain your pace, while the city lights create a memorable backdrop. Whether running solo or with friends, you’ll find plenty of moments to soak in the unique vibe. It’s a chance to see Bilbao in a different light—literally—and share the experience with others who appreciate a good challenge and a great beat.
