Getxo Half Marathon 2027

The coastal town of Getxo, at the mouth of the Bilbao estuary and home to the Puente Bizkaia and the Old Port of Algorta, hosts the OTSO Media Maratón Getxo, a spring half marathon organised by Club Atlético Getxo that reaches its fourth edition in 2027. The race takes place on Sunday 2027-04-04, and the Getxo Half Marathon 2027 is a great option for runners looking for a flat, urban race in Bizkaia at the start of the spring season. Distance and course. The half marathon covers the classic distance of 21.097 km on a completely flat course that, according to the organisers, passes the most emblematic monuments of the town. The race base is on Avenida de los Chopos, next to the Fadura sports complex, and the course map in PDF and the GPS track can be downloaded from the event's Downloads tab. The flat profile makes it a good race to aim for a personal best or to prepare for a spring marathon. Start times and corrals. The half marathon starts at 09:00, at the same time as the 5K, while the 10K starts later, at 11:30. The organisers have not published start corrals, so the half marathon is expected to start in a single group. The time limit is 2 hours 15 minutes: from that point, runners may be asked to leave the race, although whenever circumstances allow they will simply be asked to remove their bib and can continue the course under their own responsibility. Registration and bibs. Getxo Half Marathon 2027 registration is open on the Kirolprobak platform from 2026-06-01 to 2027-03-31 at 22:00, and the price rises by period: 30 € until 2026-08-31, 35 € from 2026-09-01 to 2026-12-31, and 40 € from 2027-01-01 until registration closes. Every bib includes a timing chip, and wearing the bib and chip is mandatory. Half marathon runners are entitled to a gift of OTSO running gear, with sizes guaranteed only for runners registered before 2027-01-31. Bib collection. There is no runners' Expo: bibs are collected at the Fadura sports complex (Ciudad Deportiva de Fadura) on Friday 2027-04-02 from 18:00 to 20:30, on Saturday 2027-04-03 from 09:00 to 14:00, and on race day, Sunday 2027-04-04, from 08:00 until 30 minutes before the start. Bibs are not handed out outside these times, and queues may form at busy moments, so it is best to collect your bib in advance. Bib transfer and name change. The organisers have not published rules on bib transfer, name change or a waiting list for the Getxo Half Marathon. If you have a bib and cannot run, or if you are looking for a place once registration is closed, write to [email protected] before making any transfer, so that the registration is in the name of the person who runs. On Bibready you can activate a bib alert for the Getxo Half Marathon and be notified if a runner publishes a bib. Other distances. On the same morning the event also includes a 10K, with a 1-hour time limit, and a 5K, with a 30-minute limit, which makes it a running festival for every level. Frequently asked questions.
